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 Quizzers!
I hope all is well with you and you did not find today's quiz too difficult!

On to the next project..........
You will be getting a candidate to represent for the brand-new "NHASA Vitamin of the Year" Competition! You will need to do a bit of research so you are best able to help your vitamin write his/her speech. At the end of the project, during the final voting, you will get up in front of your classmates and do your best to convince them that your vitamin deserves to win "NHASA's Vitamin of the Year 2010" Award.
You will need to include the following information in your speech:
Is your vitamin water or fat soluble? What does that mean?
What does your vitamin doe for us humans?
What are the consequences of a deficiency and an overdose of your vitamin?
Does your vitamin work with any other vitamins? If so, how?
What are the best conditions for your vitamin to work at it's best?
Where do we find this vitamin? ( In what foods?)

Email me if you have any questions! I look forward to your presentations!

Happy Researching!
