Clued Into Health

     This WebQuest is good for all types of learners, but especially visual and hands-on learners.  There are three standards met within this WebQuest.  First, Health Standard 2.1.1: Identifying that healthy behaviors affect personal health.  For example, learning about the Food Pyramid and the important role it plays in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  Second, Science Standard 2.4.2: Identifying technologies developed by humans to meet human needs.  Investigate the limitations of technologies and how they have improved quality of life.  For example, using a WebQuest and other internet resources to educate and encourage individuals to lead a healthier life.  The third standard is, Math Standard 2.2: Students solve simple problems involving addition and subtraction of numbers up to 100.  For example, adding up the calories, nutritional value and correct serving sizes in order to get the healthiest meal combinations. 
     Teachers, make yourself readily available to students during this assignment to answer any questions or to clear up any confusion they might have.  Also, be sure to go over the answers to the "pre-quiz" with students before they begin their research.  Assign students into groups of four by their birthdays (or another strategy that doesn't involve "numbering off") in order to eliminate grouping off with the same students as usual!
