Growing healthy bodies Term 2 Week 6

Growing Healthy Bodies!
The explanation of our favorite drinks and how much sugar is in them.
For our new topic this term we have decided to work on Growing Healthy bodies and looking after ourselves 
what's healthy eating and drinking and what's not. We had a visitor come into our class today and explain how much sugar is in our favorite drinks such as Lift, V, Coke, Sprite energy drinks I think you get the idea.

Sugars in some drinks
Coke - 64 gms 16tsp
Red Bull - 51 gms 12+
Sprite - 25 gms 6+
These are just some of the fizzy drinks we like and how much sugar the may contain. (Fact: Coke puts a chemical called Acidity Regulator in to hide the sweetness in there drink.)

We have also worked on healthy eating and what's good for us and bad for us we looked at what's in a chicken nugget (Fact: there's different parts of chicken in chicken nuggets, and then its processed and battered.) 
Here's my slide on unhealthy and healthy food (We had to pick a color and find unhealthy foods and healthy foods and put them on our sides.)

  1. Hi Rikki-Lee. I think it would be interesting to find out what other processed foods have an acidity regulator added to hide the sweetness. I bet you would be surprised what foods would. Do you have any ideas?
