This Health and Science unit for Year 5 and 6 students focuses on the difference between naturally occurring sugars and added sugars in food, the recommended daily limit of added sugar intake, and the impact of consuming too much added sugar on our kidneys. Students will learn to recognize foods containing added sugars, research alternatives with less added sugar, and understand how food options and choices have changed over time. The unit also covers the role of kidneys in the body, the effect of consuming too much sugar on kidney health, and ways to prevent kidney disease such as making healthier choices and avoiding dialysis treatment.
