IAS at Lunalilo Elementary 14 November

On Nov 14, the Lunalilo Elem school library was transformed into a sugar laboratory.

Dressed in crisp white lab coats, 2nd graders participated in a sugar-science event with their parents.

They weighed, measured, mixed, and poured sugar. They used top loading balances, vortex mixers, test tubes, graduated cylinders, and hydrometers to understand properties of solutions and to see just how much sugar they consume in their favorite drink.
They discovered a bottle of apple juice contains more sugar than a can of cola.
Read the nutrition facts label and make wise & healthy choices.
