The Science Of Health & Anatomy (Full Year: Grades 7-12)

The Science Of Health & Anatomy

Grades: 7-12 Meets Health & Anatomy Credit

Health Education is a required course, which is typically taught within a nine-week or seventeen week semester time frame. In a Health Education class, students will obtain accurate information; acquire skills and behaviors that promote positive attitudes for making wise decisions related to their personal health. The central theme addresses adolescent risk behaviors that have been identified by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: the acceptance of personal responsibility for lifelong health, respect for and promotion of the health of others, understanding the process of growth and development, and informed use of health-related information, products, and services. The units will include Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs, Mental and Emotional Health, Disease Prevention, Human Growth and Development, Nutrition and Safety. The unifying agenda for health is for students to improve the quality of individual health through practice  and performance, which will sustain a lifetime of wellness.

A basic course of study in the structure and functions of human body systems is required. Study in both human anatomy and human physiology is required.It is not unusual for both of these subjects to be offered as one course. If the course you completed is a combined course, you may use the same course to fulfill both requirements.

This course is a unique way to finish two courses in one. This is a full year course, broken up into two semesters. This is a great course for students interested in the medical field, looking to complete a 2 in 1 course, or for students looking for a unique science credit. 

This course is 2 semesters long, for a full year credit. The course will provide a combination of teacher created lessons that have been proven to be effective and the following-
