Sugar

Sugar

I did this with classes this year. It made an impact as it always does. We made posters of the ziplock bags of sugar beside the can of soda or other drink. Then we explained how many teaspoons of sugar were in the bag.

Next time, I want to use sugar cubes and stack them. I'm hoping they will glue in to pyramids. Then I hope to have the students creat a video explaining their findings. I plan to have these become little PSA's on the morning announcements.
