This HPE and Science unit teaches students how to recognise foods containing added sugars, the role of our kidneys in the body and the effect of consuming too much sugar on the health of our kidneys.

Students will need to obtain more information about the issues they are going to investigate. They can identify questions of interest and research these either in small groups or on their own.
