Title of Bulletin Board: Beware of Scary Amounts of Sugar

Category: Holiday-Halloween

Suggested Grade Level: 3-8

Materials: Lettering, butcher paper, construction paper, empty soda/drink bottles, sandwich bags, sugar, rubber bands or packing tape

Description:

The purpose of this board is for students to gain an understanding of how much sugar is in their drinks, especially soda. My hope is that when my students see a visual of how much sugar is in one bottle of a drink they will have a better perspective about drinks and their negative health value.

You could use any Halloween pictures to go with this board, I chose pumpkins because they were quick and easy to create. I attached the bottles to the board by stapling rubber bands to the board and then slipping the bottle into the band. I have a band at the top and the bottom of the bottle. You can also use clear packing tape to attach the bottle to the board.

On the side of the board I put a bag that had 12 grams of sugar and a sign that says that students should only have 12 grams of sugar a day.
