About the store
Primarily my experience is in Grades 6 & 7 (that's Years 7-8 where I'm from). I consider this the 'Goldilocks' age group. Old enough to have mature conversations and think critically, but young enough that they haven't picked up teenager bad habits yet.

This lesson is designed to allow students to reflect on the amount of sugar they eat. Processed sugars are present in a huge amount of foods from energy drinks to cereals. I designed this slide to do a mini inquiry into the sugars present in the foods we eat. Hopefully you can use it to bring awareness to this issue.

About the store

Experience

Primarily my experience is in Grades 6 & 7 (that's Years 7-8 where I'm from). I consider this the 'Goldilocks' age group. Old enough to have mature conversations and think critically, but young enough that they haven't picked up teenager bad habits yet.

Teaching style

I've been told my classroom is really loud, but I encourage a creative environment and this sometimes means it's full on. My day in, day out is preparing my students for their next step at Highschool. Often this is more about self-management and reflection rather than academic ability.
