Lesson Summary
In this lesson, students will begin by assessing what they know about the topic of sugar by completing a 3-2-1 Bridge visible thinking routine.
In order to learn about sugar and the effect it has on the human body, students will watch and summarise the information from two clips made by the people behind That Sugar Film. In a jigsaw classroom activity, students will dig deeper into the different forms that sugar can take. They will then consider the nutritional information of a food or drink in order to understand if it contains added sugar. The lesson concludes with students reflecting on their learning by revisiting the 3-2-1 Bridge visible thinking routine.
