Set your room up like a science lab and see how students are shocked to see the sugar and fat in products.
Help students visually fill a baggie with teaspoons of Crisco to see how much saturated fat is in pizza or an ice-cream cookie!
This lesson is one in my "Top 10 Favorite Lessons Series!" (See links below).
The kids really enjoy this lesson and they learn some shocking facts about fat and sugar in products. It also helps them practice their estimating skills and their food label reading skills.
There are 3 full days of lessons included! After reviewing 2 full lessons that are included on calories, fat, and sugar, and helping students use formulas to determine how much they should eat of each, you'll turn your classroom into a science lab for the day. All it takes besides this lesson plan is a few tubs of sugar and crisco, some sandwich baggies and some plastic spoons.
THIS LESSON IS INCLUDED IN THE BEST HEALTH CURRICULUM: A COMPLETE SEMESTER OF HEALTH LESSON PLANS AND IS ALSO PART OF THE "NUTRITION UNIT." (See links below)
The one-day lesson includes:
1. An 86-Slide PowerPoint where I include pre-lesson slides on calories, fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, diabetes, and sugar, and colored pictures and food labels for the 15 food items.
2. 26 pages of complete step-by-step teacher directions.
3. A worksheet where students will guess how healthy products are from pictures on the PowerPoint show, then they will measure the sugar or crisco in baggies, walk around the room and fill in the correct teaspoons in each product, and then they will correct their answers and make some conclusions.
4. A follow-up homework assignment is included.
5. An at-home version with directions for absent students is also included.
All are included in Word and PDF formats.

TOP 10 “FAVORITE LESSONS” SERIES: {Click on the description below}
In my 17 years of teaching Health and designing hundreds of lessons, these are my top 10 favorite lessons. First, I love teaching them because they present powerful, and valuable lessons for teens; and second, they’re favorites because they’re engaging and students have fun while they learn.
1. Food Label Scavenger Hunt. This lesson is my #1 seller. After students have read 42 food labels, they totally understand how to decipher the information on any food label!
2. Life Stories Project. The 3-Day project will have your students learning to embrace the hardships that make up their life stories, and sharing personal experiences they might not have otherwise talked about.
3. Alcohol Refusal Skills. This lessons starts with an interactive PowerPoint quiz on “Peer Pressure Lines,” continues with a true story about a dad who allowed his son to have an alcohol party in their basement, and ends with small group role-plays. Very powerful!
4. Fat and Sugar Nutrition Lab: Turn your classroom into a science lab to show your students the fat and sugar in 15 different products. Products sheets are included.
5. Dangerous Decisions Activity. Help Teens Realize the Consequences of 14 different risky behaviors they may be tempted by.
6. “Intervention” Addiction Lesson. Using “Intervention” T.V. Show to teach your students about addiction and treatment. Very powerful. This lesson teaches itself!
7. Nutrition Media Literacy. Have fun showing your students how food manufacturers manipulate us to buy their products. Kids will be surprised by what they learn.
8. Narcotics Dangers “Pharm Parties“ Lesson. Simulate a “Pharmaceutical Party” and help your student understand the dangers of narcotics, including prescription pills.
9. Fast Food Lesson. Help students analyze healthy versus unhealthy fast food restaurant choices.
10. Sexual Pressures Flip Charts. Help your students come up with assertive answers to sexual pressure lines.
Help students visually fill a baggie with teaspoons of Crisco to see how much saturated fat is in pizza or an ice-cream cookie!

Ah ! This was so fantastic ! After I went out and bought all of the experiment materials, I was so excited to try this out! My students absolutely loved it! I added in some other products to measure out and did sugar in Mountain dew, fat in combos, and salt in ramen noodles. It was so great! Thanks

My adult ESL students were fascinated by this engaging lab activity. I expected to teach 25 students, but a colleague called in sick, so I ended up doing this lab with 50 students. Luckily, I had enough sugar, Crisco and baggies. Everyone learned a ton about nutrition, and a good time was had by all.
