Suggestions for health curriculum?

[mamakelly]

DD needs a semester of health. I've looked at Total Health, and it doesn't seem in-depth enough. The reviews I read said it didn't cover drugs at all? So I guess I'm looking for suggestions other than Total Health, LOL.

I haven't used it yet, but plan on using Oak Meadow.

we used Total Health.  It is a huge book, but I wound up adding a fair amount.  Other programs have health curriculum:  BJU, Abeka, AOP for instance

Acellus has middle school and high school health. I believe time4learning does too.

 

Starline press has Health, and it looks as though it is just one semester.

We used Abeka and it was not too bad.  I thought it covered all the topics fairly well.

I bought Nutrition 101: Choose Life! from Rainbow Resources.

We are using Oak Meadow. It is a year program. My son is doing a full year,  My daughter will be joining in for the second semester. I do think you could pick out particular topics that you want to cover and skip others.

We used Oak Meadow and I was very happy with it, but we did it over a year. There is a fair amount of time spent on exercise - it is health and exercise. You could drop the exercise, reduce the busy work assignments and probably get it done in a semester.

My oldest did Total Health. It was blah IMHO. Pretty preachy and boring, but it got the job done.

 

My next one loves reading and writing essays, so I picked some books for her to read and write about. Several of the books were on the Oak Meadow list. We also got her signed up for a local CPR/First Aid class.

 

Part way through we decided to expand it a little into a "Home Arts" class which included healthy cooking and some sewing. We're nearly done, and she's very happy with it.

DS used Total health.  I don't know...It was the ONLY class he didn't complain about in 10th grade!  LOL

 

I would add kidshealth.org if you needed(or wanted) more content.
