There are two lessons in this group. The first lesson is a lab activity that illustrates the importance of hand washing as a way to prevent the spread disease. The second lesson includes discussion of various careers in the health field and allows students to explore careers utilizing various resources.

This guide uses biology, health, and world study topics to engage students in global health issues and solutions from experiential and multidisciplinary perspectives. The guide offers an outline of how to organize and host a "Global Health Conference," and provides suggestions regarding logistics and instructions as well as resource materials for preparing and organizing a student conference. The Global Health Conference is a school event where students present display boards and two-page essays on various countries and their health challenges, very much like a science fair.
As a template, the guide can be modified to suit each educator's goals, student needs, and school policies. The guide is designed to involve all students from a single grade level—e.g., all seventh-grade students. However, educators can use pieces from the guide or tailor it to one class or a whole school. We recommend that each educator adapt this guide to the most appropriate scale for his or her own school environment and policies, student needs, and learning outcomes.

This site includes a food safety quiz, a piece about how the FDA conducts its investigations, and pages about animals, vaccines, and tobacco. There are also specific pages designed for teens and parents.

In this film, we’ll explore methods for engaging learners through the experience of a field trip. When students perform meaningful tasks in the field, the activity becomes a form of concrete, experiential learning.

Hazed materials can be used as part of a larger curriculum, as special stand-alone activities, or on an occasional basis to teach students about hazardous waste issues. Hazed is a compilation of interdisciplinary activities that focus on the often complicated and sometimes controversial scientific, technical, and policy issues related to hazardous waste sites and Superfund. It is designed to help students develop skills in critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making. It also increases environmental awareness and encourages an environmental ethic in students.

These are links to the Open University, UK (OU) website, where this initiative is described. OU is collaborating with the Tropical Health & Education Trust (THET) to promote capacity building in the health workforce by supporting the development of health education curricula, using the same model as that which was used for OU's Teacher Training in Sub-Saharan Africa (TESSA) program. Existing health-education modules will be adapted for local contexts, as appropriate, and new curriculum materials developed where necessary. All of this will be done in close collaboration with partner institutions in the countries included in HEAT. Participating countries have not yet been chosen. HEAT has received start-up funding from the Allan and Nesta Ferguson Trust. Also see www.open.ac.uk/africa/africa_tropical_health.shtm.

This lesson plan helps students explore the concept that health is a basic human right. Primary sources -- Article 25 of the "U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights" and Article 1 of the "Declaration of Alma-Ata" -- are used to help students define health and human rights, and to build a connection between the two. Students apply the concept of health as a basic human right by analyzing case studies from the Against the Odds exhibition

With funding from USAID, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public health is leading a five-year initiative to strengthen the capacity of public health schools in East Africa. Johns Hopkins is collaborating with the Makerere University School of Public Health in Uganda and the Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences in Tanzania. Johns Hopkins is also partnering with the Tulane University School of Public Health and the George Washington University School of Public Policy and Public Administration. The LIPHEA website includes a course commons,” with content from both Africa and Johns Hopkins. Only a few courses have been mounted, thus far; registration is free.

This site helps students answer questions about pesticides and toxic chemicals used around the house. It explains how to read labels and what to do in case of an accident. An online home tour invites students to identify pesticides and toxic substances in a typical kitchen, garage, laundry room, bathroom, and bedroom.

The Medicines in My Home lesson emphasizes the importance of reading medicine labels (especially the Drug Facts label) and involving a parent or guardian in medicine decisions. The program introduces students to information about and an approach to medicine use that may help them with self-medication choices as older adolescents and young adults. The lesson uses scenarios to teach the importance of reading label warnings and not taking two medicines that contain the same active ingredients. Students who share this information with their families may, in turn, teach their family members how to use over-the-counter medicines safely and effectively. We hope that you will find the Medicines in My Home lesson a useful addition to your health education curriculum. While health curricula differ among school systems, this information on the safe use of over-the-counter medicines may integrate with learning objectives related to home safety, medicines and common health problems, or consumer products.
