At the beginning of each module, students are provided with health information that they must then apply in order to complete the activities that follow. The activities consist of games, crosswords, multiple - choice quizzes, mystery phrases, mazes, etc. The activities are fun and engaging for the students, and also provide valuable health information. The Annotated Teacher's Editions include answers to questions and activities within the text, as well as recommended teaching strategies and activity objectives at the bottom of each page.
The information and activities that comprise this series are largely based on the KNOW YOUR BODY [KYB] Comprehensive School Health Promotion Program. KYB was developed by the American Health Foundation in 1975, and has been extensively researched and evaluated over the past 20 years. The goal of the KYB program is to empower students with the knowledge, attitude, skills, and experience they need to practice positive health behaviors. By completing this series, students will take an important first step toward achieving this goal.
