Juicing Station Teachers Notes (Secondary)

Juicing station – Teachers’ notes (secondary)

In this activity, pupils choose ingredients to create their own juice. The stall provides a selection of fruit children to choose and an adult uses a juicer to create the juice. The pupils name their juice and write the ingredients on a competition sheet. The pupil who comes up with the best juice name and flavour wins a prize at the celebration assembly, e.g. a plastic drinking cup with straw.

Equipment:

·  juicer;

·  selection of fruits and vegetables, e.g. orange, carrot, cucumber, apple, spinach;

·  equipment to prep your selection of fruits and vegetables, e.g. chopping board, vegetable knife.
