Health is about stewardship: managing what you have as well as you can. This 15-module course, which includes both a hardcover textbook and a spiral-bound notebook, covers the physical, nutritional, and emotional aspects of growing into a healthy adult. Students will study the human body systems, senses, genetics, temperaments, and physical influences on thoughts and feelings. The course respectfully covers mental illness and emotional stability, as well as the inestimable value of another human being, our families, socialization, communication skills, and conflict resolution skills. Students will gain an in-depth knowledge of both macronutrients and micronutrients, including the importance of exercise and proper diet. Over 50 projects, noted in the textbook and included in the student notebook, cover materials such as nature versus nurture, personal temperament, good decision-making skills, boundary setting, analyzing food intake and activity levels, creating good hygiene habits, keeping a sleep record, as well as so much more.
*NOTE: This is a Christian author so you will find references to God, Jesus, and the like.
**Parental Note: This is a full health textbook. Some students may not be mature enough to discuss some of the topics. The reproductive systems are covered in detail, including accurate, yet respectful, illustrations and descriptions. The text respectfully discusses the act of marriage, sexual misconduct, pregnancy, and sexually transmitted diseases. It also discusses alcohol and drug abuse, depression, pornography and other topics that also require maturity. Please use your knowledge of your students to decide if this course is appropriate for their maturity levels.
Wilderness Survival ScienceYou are probably thinking, this is not a standard science class! That is true but, did you know that adults go to Wilderness Survival training schools and pay big bucks to do so? Think of all of the things you will be learning: First Aid, plants, animals, environments, survival skills, how to make survival kits, what to do in emergencies, how to control emotions, building a fire, shelter, and more. This has been by far my son’s favorite class, he still continues to use what he has learned 4 years later. Enjoy! This class can be used as a credit in science or an elective. 1 Credit Wilderness Survival (or you could call it Life Science) |

DK The Human Body Coloring Book
This unique study aid provides students with an innovative approach to learning and recalling anatomical information. The interactive elements of the book, which focus on coloring and labeling anatomical diagrams correctly, are crucial methods that help a student understand the human body, while the opportunity to self-test maximizes the ability to recall knowledge.
Every part of the body is shown as an accurate black and white line artwork. The intention with each image is to color and accurately label each relevant part. Clear instructions are given for each artwork that explain exactly what needs to be colored in, along with a guide to the colors to use. Each page also contains a list of key terms relating to the artwork, which the user can cover with a flap in order to recall, write down, and learn the terms.
The book is structured in an intuitive and easy to use way, beginning with an overview of all the body systems and then following a system-by-system approach. A full-color reference section further supports learning by clarifying key concepts and illustrating each system of the human body.
