This week P6/7 have been researching the effects of sugar on their teeth. They placed eggs in a variety of drinks (Iced Tea, Irn Bru, Apple Juice, Ribena etc) and they are going to monitor the eggs over the next week to see what the drinks do to the egg shells.
The children also researched and measured the amount of sugar in common drinks. The drink with the most sugar was pineapple juice with a whopping 62g of sugar in 500ml. The lowest was water with 0g in 500ml. The children were surprised with some of the results and have set up a display to show the rest of the school to see.
