  1. HOW MUCH SUGAR DO THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS CONTAIN? 8D´s assignment was to guess how many cubes of sugar there are in different products. The pupils were informed that one sugar cube weighs about 2,5 grams.

  2. Products chosen by the teacher

  3. The pupils liked their assignment and were both interested and motivated.

  4. Trying to figure out the correct answer…

  5. The pupils´guessings turned out to be sometimes right and sometimes wrong. Anyway, most pupils were surprised by the high amount of sugar cubes when they saw them concretized in the box. In 200 grams of candy you´ll “find”88 sugar cubes...

  6. 200 grams of chocolate contains 49 cubes of sugar

  7. In comparison 0,5 liters of Pepsi contains 28,”Mehukatti” 20 and the Ed energy drink 33 sugar cubes.

  8. Seeing the cubes in the boxes makes it easier to realize the amount of sugar in different products and helps motivating you in changing your eating habits.

  9. During the following lesson the pupils visited the website: http://www.leipatiedotus.fi. • On the site is a test calculating your daily sugar consumption. The pupils´results showed a great variety of between 12 and up to 100 sugar cubes a day.The discussion afterwards was rewarding and worth while as everyone was well aware of how much hidden sugar is added in our ”normal” everyday food and diet. • You can make a reservation and get the ”sugarbox” from Hagalunds hälsocentral in Esbo. • 13.9 2009 Sonja Andersson, teacher in Home economics and Health Education
