Project-based Learning (PBL) is the use of

classroom projects to bring about deeper

more engaged learning in students.

Students use technology and inquiry to

investigate issues that are relevant to their

lives.

Students become more independent

learners.

Do decisions we make today impact our

health tomorrow?

Is prevention the best way to preserve our

health?

What is the definition of disease? What

benefits do we get from exercise? What is

a balanced diet?

Students will investigate different ways to

prevent disease processes in the body by

exploring exercise, diet, and risk factors.

Students will then present their findings to

the class in the form of a poster

presentation.

My role as a teacher is to guide the

learning of your children throughout this

unit.

Your role as parent is to support the

learning of your children throughout this

unit.

The role of the student’s is to openly

accept the challenge of learning new

information.

A healthy lifestyle leads to a long healthy

life.
