Sugar Inquiry

Our ladybug friends have been interested in finding out how much sugar is in their snacks. We talk a lot about making healthy snack choices especially for our morning snack time. Many of our students ask us "How many grams of sugar is in this?"

We decided to bring in a scale to show them exactly how much sugar is in their snacks.

Almost everyday at lunch time our students compare their juice boxes. We've noticed as a class that juice contains a lot of sugar. We decided to show our friends what happens when sugar is put into a liquid.

"What happens to the sugar if we mix it with water?"

"It yucky!" - Abrahim

"It dissolves." - Zeke

"It'll get soft." - Tessa

"Wet." - Ralph

During lunch time Veronica asked "how much sugar is in water?" We told her that water is very healthy for us and has zero sugar in it. 

Ask your child to look at the nutrition facts on some items at home! 

They are very curious and interested!

This sparked an interest in changing our dramatic area into Tim Horton's. As a group we discussed what we would need for our coffee shop. Take a look at what the kids came up with:
