Game
On! The Ultimate Wellness Challenge How to build an around the year
program to educate kids in nutrition, health and physical education before,
during, and after school. Includes ideas, activities, and how to set up challenges
for kids. This is from Action for Healthy Kids of Skokie, Illinois, USA. Their
mission
statement and program layout explains it all in detail. We need this sort
of site.
Thanks for another one, Shelly.
Gardening - Classroom Projects from Kids Gardening. Here are 26 gardening projects for school kids, with lesson layouts and notes. Nice for cross-curriculum springtime activities.
Gardening - Thematic Explorations Library from Kids Gardening. Here are 26 thematic units, most with Lessons & Activities and Resources sections. There is a lot of good resources and planning material in here.
Happy Healthy Songs from Sesame Street. "Listen to these great songs about eating healthy foods and keeping your body fit." Five songs (with lyrics) to reinforce the idea of eating healthy.
Health and Growth, Keeping Healthy, and Teeth and Eating are three great kid health sites from the BBC. Each has a Revise Bite (online textbook), a good Activity to keep kids engaged, followed by a Quiz. We linked to the Revise Bites, and links to the activities and quizzes are on each page at the bottom. See if kids can keep Ben healthy in a Neo-Pet type activity! Quick clicking is called for!
Health and Medicine from Kids' World. Quite a few links to various kid and kid-related health sites.
Healthfinder US government site. Lists of links to other government health-related education sites. We've used the Cool and Uncool Stuff section to help teach alcohol and drug abuse facts. Other sections may be OK, too.
The Heart: An Online Exploration from The Franklin Institute. "Explore the heart. Discover the complexities of its development and structure. Follow the blood through the blood vessels. Wander through the weblike body systems. Learn how to have a healthy heart and how to monitor your heart's health. Look back at the history of heart science." Links to excellent explorations of all the above areas, with an exceptional section on blood. For upper elementary through high school.
Human Biology section of KidsKnowIt. Good and simple explanations.
Infection Detection Protection from the American Museum of Natural History. Meet the Microbes, Bacteria in the Cafeteria game, Infection ("The Game where YOU Are the Germ!"), and How Lou Got the Flu. A fun way for kids to learn some disease vector basics.
Kids Health Kids learn about health and their bodies. Good, interactive site. Really good section on body changes during adolescence, too.
Kids Running "is a site about kids running for kids of all ages. Inspire your kids to embrace fitness, physical activity and exercise...Hello and welcome to KidsRunning.Com. It won't take you more than a few moments of browsing the site, to see that we are building a Web site devoted to promoting the sport of running for kids so that they can enjoy the benefits of a fit and healthy lifestyle both at school and home. We integrate academics when we can. It seems that both learning and running are more fun for kids when they are combined." Owned and operated by working teachers.
Neuroscience for Kids "The smell of a flower - The memory of a walk in the park - The pain of stepping on a nail. These experiences are made possible by the 3 pounds of tissue in our heads...the BRAIN!! Neuroscience for Kids has been created for all students and teachers who would like to learn about the nervous system." Looks like Middle School and up.
Origin of MRSA. Simply explained by this UC Berkeley site. How did S. aureus morph from a minor skin infection to a terror?
Sports Illustrated Kids SI's online games, scores and various activities for kids.
Scrub
Club! NSF's site about washing hands is full of songs, games, and
activities! Emphasizes the six steps of properly washing and why it is
so important. Kids enjoy the games and the "Webisode." By "kids"
we mean ages 6 to 16. Teen girls giggle at the characters and then look around
to see if anyone noticed.This makes a good health filler in computer lab. In
this time of MRSA, this litle site becomes a powerful tool against disease.
