DT & Science Sugar Investigation

Lesson: Science

Class: Class 2 Year: 2024 - 2025

This term in Class 2, we are learning all about the human body and how to keep it healthy.  Last week, we investigated lots of popular drinks, to see how much sugar each one had in it.  We made predictions, measured out the equivalent grams of sugar to see it as a raw product and compared the different quantities.  We were amazed by a few of the drinks! For example, there was more sugar in the fresh orange than any of the other drinks! Which went completely against our prediction.  We also learnt that some of the drinks contain caffeine, so even though they had less sugar than we expected they aren't the best thing for us to drink. Ask us at home if we can remember which drink had the least sugar...
