On The Move Towards Health

Welcome: On The Move Towards Health
Description: Adolescents are heading down the road towards being less active due to major technological advancements. Many of them are being heavily influenced by media to spend much of their time in using their cellphones to communicate with others. There has also been much advancement with video games that many spend it not only playing on their home consoles but in their cellphones as well. Video games can now be played wherever they go. The growing fast food industry and production of cheap processed foods has also made it difficult for teenagers to make healthy decisions. According to Healthy Schools 2018, Obesity has gone up more than three fold since the 1970s. This WebQuest will guide students to learn information about healthy living and build habits that balance the consumption and expenditure of calories. These are habits that will help lead teenagers to lives of better health.
