The daily media is littered with health advice, anti-aging products, and new age medicines for providing a long and healthy life. However, according to the CDC over 43 million people in the United States still smoke and of those people almost 25% have completed high school. This is astounding when you consider the overwhelming evidence that links tobacco use to life threatening diseases. Clearly, our high school education could do more to make students aware of the importance of caring for one’s own health. Through this year long project you will be given the opportunity to use what you learn about physiology in order inform others about how to live a healthy life!
The overall goal of this project is to make every student more health conscious so that they may live a long, productive, and full life. You will accomplish this by first investigating the body systems and identifying the importance of each for sustaining a healthy functioning body. You will then conduct your own investigations about health issues that you personally find interesting. Using all of this information you will work with your group to design a website that appropriately presents the important message of living a healthy life style.
