| Description | Students at this age generally do not have an interest
in obtaining and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The lessons in this unit will not only make the students aware of the disadvantages of an unhealthy lifestyle, but also teach the advantages of daily exercise and proper nutrition. The students will learn the role that genetics plays in their physiological makeup. They will also understand that what they do to their bodies now will affect them as adults. Parental involvement will be encouraged. | |
