This morning, students were involved in a lesson that involved measuring the amount of sugar that was being consumed by character called Dean. The students were shown the recommended daily intake for poeple their age, which was about 60grams. The students examined the amount of sugar in popular foods and drinks such as coke, LOL drinks and a range of lollies.
Students were amazed by how easily sugar consumption increases by adding these snacks into your daily snacks.
Students understood the following points:
- Your body needs a small amount of sugar to survive.
- Sugar is a main cause of type 2 diabetes.
- It can lead to obesity.
- It's alright to have these treats sometimes.
- Sugar can cause tooth decay.
What a great lesson. Thanks to everyone for being involved.
