Working Wall - Sugar content of everyday products

Measuring sugar content of everyday products (Notice board creation activity)
This is a group work lesson focused on measuring the sugar content of everyday products we consume. The end result will be a noticeboard full of pictures of these items with a bag containing the amount of sugar in a serving of each and a corresponding label.

One idea to motivate the children during this lesson is when you notice a group who have accurately measured the sugar content of a particular item, take said bag then and there and pin it to the wall.

Arter purchasing this resource you will need:
• 1kg of sugar (I split my class of 27 into 5 groups and we only needed 1kg – I bought 3 kg just in case)
• A teaspoon per group
• A balancing scale per group
• Weights
• A jug for each group (to hold their sugar)
• A funnel for each group
• Plastic food bags

I used this lesson for an observation and had great success.
