treestarfae Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Looking for books or site that has fun activities for health. Any fun demonstrations for middle school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treestarfae Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Ok, I get it, health is not fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I posted a thread like this on the high school board and it fell flat too. We never did pull anything together that I felt confident, so I guess we'll have to shoot for next year, ugh. I concluded it would be easier to generate a list of topics and look for activities to fit those topics. For junior high, you're still covering a lot of health in your science, most likely. Apologia has a nice a&p text for the lower crowd. By high school, I'm concerned about topics like depression, s*x, STDs (which are no longer called that, btw), etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas_mom Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'm looking, too. Let me know when you find it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoVanGogh Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Teach your child how to suture a wound! Okay. Just joking. But Home Science Tools does have some neat kits, including a suture one: http://www.hometrainingtools.com/anatomy-equipment-kits/c/176/action/showall/ We are doing anatomy this school year but I haven't decided what we will be doing beyond dissecting a few mammal organs. I do have the Pollan omnivore book for kids. I may buy some fast food and let it sit out to see if it molds. We already buy new fruits and veggies on a regular basis to try but will probably focus on that for a few weeks grocery shopping. Do you have any local farms or farmer's markets you can visit?
