Who is telling you what to drink?

The unit closes where AC9HP6P09 points: at sources. Students compare four things that say different things about the same drink, work out which they can rely on and why, then build a campaign piece for a real audience in their own school. This is the Years 5–6 answer to the F-2 "healthy smile hero" finish, and it carries the band's summative work sample.

Learning intention

In this lesson, we will work out which sources of health information we can rely on, and build a campaign that tells our school something true.

Success criteria

I will know I am successful when I can:

I can rank four sources on the same claim from most to least reliable, and justify the ranking.
I can identify one way a graph or an advertisement can mislead without lying.
I can name who made a health message and what they want the reader to do.
I can produce a campaign piece with an accurate claim, a named source and a specific audience.

Guiding questions

Four things say different things about the same drink. Who do you believe, and why?
How do you mislead someone using only true numbers?
Who decides what counts as a healthy drink?

Vocabulary

source · claim · verify · sample size · vested interest · audience

Australian Curriculum

AC9HP6P09, AC9HP6P08

Support

Give the four sources pre-extracted onto cards of equal length so the ranking is about the source and not about reading load.
Pre-fill the first row of the ladder as a worked example. The campaign piece may be a poster with three elements rather than a written text.

Challenge

Find a real advertisement or social post making a drink claim, check it against the nutrition information panel and one health source, and write the correction.
Or take the energy drinks motion, "Should energy drinks be sold to people under 16?".

EAL/D

Column headings written as questions. Sentence frames for every reason line.
The campaign piece may be delivered orally or as a recorded 30-second announcement, which is the same evidence as a written one.

Disability

Every written outcome has a spoken or drawn alternative, and this is the lesson where that matters most because the product is the assessment. Recording counts.
Drag interactions in the game have a select-then-place keyboard path with 64 px targets.

Exit ticket

Name two of the four things that make a source checkable.
A drink advertisement shows a bar chart where the bars start at 40 instead of 0. What does that do, and why would someone do it?

Assessment of learning

The campaign piece is the band's summative work sample against AC9HP6P09, made across two sittings: the plan and a rough draft in this lesson, the finished piece in a follow-up session of 30 to 40 minutes in the same week. A school that cannot find the follow-up session marks side two of the worksheet against the same four rows.

Inclusion notes

No comparative decay statistics by group appear in any student-facing material; the Queensland figures used are whole-population.
If access comes up, discuss it as access, which is accurate and is not blaming: distance to a clinic, cost, and which towns treat their water.
Anything culturally specific about First Nations oral health is developed with and attributed to an Aboriginal health organisation and is not written in-house; this is an input required from Oral Health Home, client question C10.

Teacher notes, slide by slide

The number beside each note is the slide it belongs to, counting from the first.

1.TitleWho is telling you what to drink?
Today we work out which sources we can rely on, and build a campaign that tells our school something true.
2.Success criteriaYou will know you can do it when:
The fourth is the summative work sample for the whole band.
3.QuestionFour things say different things about the same drink. Who do you believe, and why?
Take positions before the checks are taught. Do not rank them for the class.
4.SlideFour things about one drink
Same claim, four sources. The ranking is the lesson, and it has to be earned.
5.SlideWhat makes a source checkable
The drinks study is a good source because it states these, not because it agrees with us.
6.QuestionHow do you mislead someone using only true numbers?
Take answers before the next slide. Most classes get to "leave something out".
7.SlideThree honest lies
Two of these three are the curriculum's own examples, from the Year 6 statistics elaboration. Show one example of each.
8.Data tableNumbers worth using
Every figure with its years, which is what slide 8 just taught. The decay figure has fallen by about a fifth in ten years; lead with that.
9.SlideRehearse it, then choose
This slide is a rehearsal, not a recap. In threes, no script, with props: one is hurt, one finds the tooth and holds it by the crown, one gets an adult and says what happened in one sentence. Twice through, swapping roles. Then the campaign menu, read aloud from the teacher note: sugary and acidic drinks, how often we eat, brushing twice a day and not rinsing, cleaning between teeth, mouthguards for sport, the knocked-out tooth plan. The last two are the Years 3–4 lesson 5 content and this band does not leave without them. If it is dirty, a quick rinse in milk or the person's own spit, and do not scrub it. Never under a tap. Both steps are rehearsed on the slide now: the clinicians ruled on 7 September 2026 that a child should be told to rinse an adult tooth and put it straight back, and the ADA's page says "If the tooth is dirty, gently rinse it in milk or saline. Do not scrub the tooth." A baby tooth never goes back in.
10.GameTooth Rescue
The Years 3–4 game, mounted here too. Four steps into order. Two minutes, then back to the campaign.
11.SlideChoose your audience
A specific audience is a rubric row. "The school" is not an audience.
12.WorksheetSource ranking and campaign plan
The ranking is on side one, the plan on side two. Your message says what something does in the mouth, never that a food is bad. The piece itself is finished in the follow-up session, not in the last thirteen minutes of this one.
13.Exit ticketName two of the four things that make a source checkable.
The two questions from Lesson.exitTicket. The application question is AC9M6ST02 and AC9HP6P09 in one line.
14.RecapYou are a member of The Whole Bite Club
Hand back the lesson 1 paragraphs beside the campaign piece so students can see the distance travelled. Certificate.
