Course Description

The NHASA health class is a full year class that will cover the content areas of community health, consumer health, environmental health, family education, growth and development, personal health, nutrition, disease prevention, safety and substance abuse. The online course is based on the "Differentiated Health and Sexuality Education Activities Booklet" by Leslie Pettigrew and will use various types of activities such as group discussions, cooperative activities, role-play, videos, guest speakers and research projects to meet state mandates for health requirements. There will be a teacher advisor present during all class times to assist students in completing assignments. Students will meet two days a week to complete activities online and in small groups. Students will learn to access valid health information, products and services, advocate for personal, family and community health, analyze media messages, use communication skills, use decision-making skills, set goals, acquire conflict resolution skills, refusal skills, learn to manage stress and develop an appreciation for the diversity of our student body.

Hello Students!
I hope you had an wonderful weekend.

We have investigated a bit about what types of learners we have in the class and gotten to know ourselves a bit better. Knowing one's strengths and weaknesses is a key factor in emotional health. We will revist emotional health a bit later in the year.

Today we will begin to look at physical health.

There are different aspects to physical health, many of which you have mentioned in your earlier posts. Nutrition, exercise, injury( sickness, accidents, poisons), and stress are some of these aspects.

Many of you mentioned nutrition in your definitions of health, so we will start with this.

Watch the brainpop movie by clicking here
Scott will have the username and password.

Watch the movie once, then watch it again taking notes of vocabulary and concepts.
Compare your notes with your classmates at the end of the movie.

Answer the following questions in a post:
1. classify the following foods as grains, vegetables, fruits, oils, dairy or meats/beans/nuts.

bread
olive oil
turkey
yogurt
oatmeal
almonds
eggplant
butter
carrot
chickpeas
peanut butter
strawberries
popcorn

2. Do a bit of online research. What is a vegan? What types of food are in their diet and what types of foods do they avoid?

3. Make a list of all the foods you ate yesterday. Try to make it as accurate as possible. Then, sort that list into different food groups. What do you discover? Do you have most foods fit into a certain group, or are your foods spread out among the different groups? Do you see that you were missing any food groups?

I look forward to reading your posts today! Happy investigating......

    Question 2: What is a vegan?

    A vegan is very much like a vegetarien. They don't eat meat. However, a vegan ALSO doesn't eat any fish, milk, cheese(same thing) and some other fourth thing. The reason for why they don't eat milk or cheese is because it comes from a cow. Anything that comes from an animal, even if it doesn't kill it, Vegans will not eat. So, the kinds of things that they CAN eat, is fruits, vegetables, and grains.

    Question 3: What did you eat?

    Yesterday, I had a slim fast in the morning (as always). I had my mothers home made chex mix and a bagel for lunch. Last, I had eggs, bacon, strawberries, and toast for dinner.
