Liquids Mean Life

The Liquids Mean Life education resource is intended to promote the understanding of the importance of a balanced diet, an active lifestyle and adequate fluid intake to maintain good health. It also promotes the soft drinks industry as a dynamic and vital part of the food and drink manufacturing sector. The programme has no commercial function and mentions no companies and no brands.

Written and developed by practicing teachers, Liquids Mean Life has been designed to meet National Curriculum requirements of Key Stages 1&2 (4 to 11 years) and Key Stages 3&4 (11 to 16 years). Using comprehensive cross-curricular links, the resource provides a wealth of information about the soft drinks industry, as well as exciting and engaging pupil activities that are ideal for project work.

The related links page provides all visitors to the site an opportunity to look at other sources of information which link to topics covered in the resource.
