1 Do you know how much sugar is in a sports drink by Josh Heuer, Karissa Jochims, and Shea Fabel PHEOCS Investigation

2 Q: Are energy and sports drink good for kids A: Sports drinks were developed to replace the water and electrolytes lost by training athletes. For athletes who spend long hours training in hot environments, some supplementation with these electrolytes may make sense, but for almost all ordinary child and adolescent athletes under ordinary circumstances, the only thing that needs to be replaced is water. Expert: Roy Benaroch, MD Pediatrics Pediatric Physicians, PC and Emory University Q: How much water should I drink when exercising? What will happen if I drink too much? A: Two to three hours pre-exercise: 17 to 20 fluid ounces of water or sports drink. Ten to 20 minutes pre-exercise: 7 to 10 ounces of water or sports drink. Expert: MedicineNet PHEOCS Experts

3 Q. Should I drink bottled water? A. Not unless you have no other source of drinking water. The plastic bottles not only end up in our landfills - 2 million tons' worth - but there's some question about the purity of bottled water versus tap water expert: WebMD Q. How much should I drink during hot weather? A. During hot weather, you will need to drink more liquid than your thirst indicates. Increase your fluid intake, regardless of your activity level. During heavy exercise in a hot environment, drink two to four glasses (16 to 32 ounces) of cool fluids each hour. Avoid drinks containing alcohol because they will actually cause you to lose more fluid. Expert: HHS (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services) PHEOCS Experts

4 Q. Why is drinking water important during exercise? A. The more intense the training session, the more heat your body will produce. Before beginning exercise, drink water to help the body compensate for sweating. You can drink more water during exercise if you're thirsty. Expert: WebMD PHEOCS Experts

7 Lab quest Conductivity Sensor 1 or more sports/energy drinks tap water distilled water 100 ml tubes 140 ml glass Flash Drive PHEOCS Materials

8 1. get everything together 2.turn on the labquest and start a new file. 3. Go to the file sensor tab, click length and change it to 600 and make sure the mode is on time base. 4. Plug in sensor to channel one, make sure the sensor is at 0 5. go to the file graph analyzer, pour any of the sports drinks into the 140 ml glass and make sure you pour in 100 ml. 6. Click the start button then put the sensor into the drink and stir then leave still for 30 seconds. 7. take the sensor out and wash the sensor with the distilled water, pour the sports drink back into the 100 ml tube. Wash the glass with tap water, then with distilled water. 8.Repeat the steps 5-7 for each drink then click stop. 9. Plug your flash drive into the usb port and then click file and then save. There should be a button that says usb and click on that. select a folder (if you have one) click on the name and call it whatever you want and then click save. 10. take out the usb and sensor and turn off the labquest.
