This resource is designed for 4th-grade students to help them make informed choices about beverages. It starts by encouraging students to share their drink choices from the morning and guides them to identify which drinks are healthier. Through engaging activities like sorting drinks based on sugar content and participating in class discussions, students learn important terms related to hydration and sugar. They explore the effects of sugar on energy levels, such as the 'Energy Rollercoaster' concept, and discover healthier alternatives to sugary drinks. The resource also includes independent practice where students sort drinks into categories - healthy, occasional, and avoid - and culminates in a creative poster design activity to promote a 'Healthy Drink Day' at school, reinforcing the importance of reducing sugar intake for better health.
