Classically Minded Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Please give me recommendations on curriculum that teach health for the middle grades. I want something that is independent or on the computer, thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 We did Ellen McHenry 's free human anatomy unit with brainpop videos and quizzes. Both were sufficient to learn about basic anatomy, reproduction, disease, wellness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 We used the Switched on Schoolhouse high school health program on CD. It was super easy to use and done independently on the computer. You can take away assignments and tests if you want, to just make it a basic, streamlined program. I wonder if they have a middle school program? Once for middle school we used the workbook Total Health, which was pretty easy to use. Both of these have a Christian emphasis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jens2sons Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Just another option here, but if your student is a good reader and likes to cook, there is an excellent book called "Nourishing Traditions" that many homeschoolers use as their health curriculum. It's a book that goes over the old world traditional foods that have been so good for the human body, explains the science behind what and why, then the rest of the book is a cookbook. No, it wouldn't go over sex ed, but other subjects could be covered by using other living books. I can't say enough about this book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
