How Much Sugar Are You Consuming?

Today we learned about sugar!  We watched a great video about sugar and what it does to our bodies.  I secretly have been collecting the packaging of the snacks the children are consuming.  The kids were then shown the sugar conversion chart and how to make grams into teaspoons.  The students then chose two snacks that they wanted to investigate.  The students were so surprised how much sugar was in some of their favourite treats.







We did this activity right before lunch and you should have seen all the kids looking at the labels of the things they are eating.  It sure was great to see the kids taking a look at how much sugar is in their snacks.
