Student Success Criteria Key Words I can compare the various nutritional values of beverages and determine which are the healthiest. How can I compare beverages to make the healthiest choice?

It is naturally produced in the leaves and seeds of many plan plants but also produced artificially and added to certain foods. Hydration: Consuming the fluids necessary for the body to function properly. Sugar: A sweet crystalline substance obtained from various plants, especially sugar cane and sugar beet, and is used as a sweetener in food and drink. (Definitions from: OSPI Health Education Glossary, Dictionary.com and KidsHealth.org) Lesson Introduction Beverages make up a large part of grocery and convenience stores. [Show Visual #1.] You can buy beverages at many other stores such as clothing and toy stores. They are a big money making industry. There are hundreds of beverages to choose from. Which will you choose? Today we are going to talk more in depth about beverages and get more practice at comparing them. Beverages 1

What are some of your favorite beverages? Let s call out a few. [Invite responses.] We all make decisions every day about what to eat and drink. Let s take a look at some statistics about beverage choices kids in the United States are making. 2. Show Visual #2. You can see that many kids and teens are choosing soda on a weekly basis. Sugar-sweetened fruit flavored drinks are also popular. There has been an increased consumption of flavored teas and coffee drinks. 3. Show Visual #3. You can see that over 60% of kids and teens are drinking sugar-sweetened beverages every day. 4. Show Visual #4. You may have heard that soda consumption has been slowly declining in the United States. That is true. It s still the most popular, but other beverages are gaining in popularity. The newer beverages are taking away drinkers from the traditional beverages. In other words, people are drinking less milk and juice, but drinking more tea and sports drinks. 5. Being properly hydrated is very important. Our bodies need water every day. But people make beverage choices for more reasons than just thirst. Sometimes it has to do with taste. Or maybe you just want to drink what everyone else is drinking. Do you think most people look at the Nutrition Facts label as a way to decide what to drink? Do you think they should? [Wait for responses.] Every beverage choice we make is important to our health. Let s look at the impact of sugary drinks. [Show Visual #5 and discuss.] 6. Now we are going to look even closer at a variety of beverages and consider what they mean for our health. We will be dividing up into six groups. Each group will be investigating some of the beverages we have just talked about. Then you will report back to the class. You will have about 25 minutes to work together in your group. Divide class into six groups and give each group one of the six worksheets with corresponding beverage cards. Display Visual #6 as students will need this to complete their worksheets. Circulate amongst the groups to answer questions as needed. Suggest that as they record numbers, one group member is the scribe and others call out the information for the chart. 7. When all groups have completed their worksheets, invite each group to share their discoveries. As needed, help them clarify and be succinct. 8. Now that we have heard from all the groups, share with a partner something you learned that may change your beverage choices. As time allows, hear from a few students. Beverages 2

Drinking water is always the best choice to stay hydrated. Today we have discovered that other beverages have a wide variety of ingredients and nutrients. What we choose makes a difference for our health. Differentiating Instruction For students with limited English language skills, they may be paired with a partner who is more fluent for help with group work. Assessment Student learning may be measured by: 1) Participation in group work 2) Participation in classroom discussion Interdisciplinary Connections Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts Reading Standards for Informational Text: #7 Draw on information from multiple print or digital sources, demonstrating the ability to locate an answer to a question quickly or to solve a problem efficiently. Language Standards Knowledge of Language #6 Acquire and use accurately grade-appropriate general academic and domainspecific words and phrases, including those that signal contrast, addition, and other logical relationships (e.g., however, although, nevertheless, similarly, moreover, in addition).
