Senior High Health
In Health Class your child will have twenty weeks to learn many different areas and concerns of Health. The first semester I concentrate on the Body System, this is where your child will have several quizzes, tests and notes to be taken. Once we have completed this area I enjoy allowing students to explore the other areas through more projects, and group activities that allow guided discoveries.We will be working in areas of nutrition, fitness, discrimination, alcohol and drugs, along with disorders and diseases. In these topics I will have a few different guest speakers in, along with a few different projects to be doing. This way the students can be able to research and discover how these topics can relate with their lives today.My grading system is as followed:Tests: 30%Projects/Papers: 40%Quiz: 15%Notes/Homework: 15%During the months your student is in Health the units will go as followed:September/October and January/February: Body SystemsThe students will learn about each different body system, it's function and how it helps the body work as a wholeNovember and March: NutritionStudents will learn the essential nutrients for life along with doing some nutrition projects that allows them to associate what they eat with the nutrients discussed in class.December and April/May: Diseases and Alcohol and DrugsIn the disease unit the students will have a guest speaker coming in to speak about Sexual Transmitted Diseases and how to prevent them along with common and lifestyle diseases.
