grab ~N~ Go health projects

Welcome to the Grab~N~Go Health Project Depot for GMSD students and staff!​
The purpose of this challenge is to complete the 12 Grab~N~Go projects to learn about health, wellness ,and nutrition and how it is important for our overall health and well-being. The 12 challenges are listed below and includes a short description. Links to the challenges are included and provide a step-by-step outline for implementing and completing these projects. These projects are easily adaptable to fit the needs of your students and classroom!
Good Luck and share your success with us!

The Blue Zones Project:
​Cultivating Healthier, Happier Student Lifestyles

view project
Picture
Students research The Blue Zones, five areas of the world where people are most likely to live to be over 100. After learning about the healthy behaviors that lead to longevity, students set “Blue Zone” goals to implement within their homes and communities.

The Energy Bar Project:
​Part 1
 & Part 2

view part 1
Picture
view part 2
Students analyze food packaging health claims by making a trip to the grocery store, taste-testing energy bars, then creating and marketing their own healthy bars, complete with product boxes and a commercial. (This is a new project I tried this year, and my students absolutely loved it!)

Exploring Dietary Guidelines Around the World (and at Home)

view project
Picture
Let’s be real: The FDA’s new dietary guidelines are more confusing than ever. To learn to love real food, rather than fear food data, students will research dietary guidelines from around the world and create a set of guidelines for your school, using journalist Michael Pollan’s Food Rules as an aid.

A Nutrition PBL That Can Lead to Healthier School Lunch

view project
Picture
After watching an inspirational documentary about a group of kids who bettered the lunch options in their school’s cafeteria, students work to make change in their own school with the help of an awesome advocacy kit from DoSomething.org.

The Family Values Project

view project
Picture
Family values play a key role in the decision-making process, and as teens gain more freedom, sticking to those values will help keep them safe from high-risk behaviors. In this project, students have a conversation with their parents to create a list of core values and a mission statement for their family.

The Alcohol Research Lab

view project
Picture
Research on the impact of alcohol and the teenage brain is updated almost constantly. Rather than give the students the facts, let them find out for themselves as they dig up the latest details on the risks of underage drinking.

Teaching Kids About E-Cigarettes

view project
Picture
​Using resources provided as a launching point, students will create their own inquiry-based project to learn more about e-cigarettes.

An Advocacy Project:
​Help Kids Learn About the Benefits of Sleep

view project
Picture
Today’s teens are horribly sleep deprived, and many of them don’t understand all of the ways that it’s negatively impacting their health. In this project, they’ll research the benefits of sleep and create an advocacy campaign to convince their classmates to get more shut-eye.

Stress Management for Teens

view project
Picture
​This unit plan ends on a positive note, with students making videos of their favorite healthy coping skills and stress busters. (This one is always a highlight for my sixth grade students.)

 Positive Peer Pressure to Help Stop Bullying

view project
Picture
Rather than take the anti-bullying angle, this project has students use a medium of their choice to encourage and support others via positive prevention methods.
​

Advocacy Through Art

view project
Picture
​In this cross-curricular project, health classes and art classes team up to create a public service announcement and a logo for an advocacy campaign of their conception.

Using Social Media to Teach Advocacy

view project
Picture
​So often we focus on the negative when talking to kids about social media, but in reality, they’re using social media to do amazing things to bring about positive social change. In this project, students find an advocacy group on social media that inspires them and present what they learned to the class.
