Secrets of the Hibernators STEM Kit. The Natural Sciences Education & Outreach Center collaborates with CSU faculty, National Parks and citizen science programs to translate their current scientific research into unique STEM experiences for students in the form of Educational Kits that can be checked out. Each kit contains just about all of the materials needed (minus common things like water and paper towels) to explore some really interesting scientific research topics.The kits are available for teachers and informal educators in Colorado to check out for a duration of a week by submitting either a local pickup form or a delivery form available at the linked website. This kit is provided free for educational use. This Kit is available in Spanish.

Hormones have a large effect on the skin, details of which can be found at endocrine and nutritional influences on the skin. As a result, endocrine associated skin pathology is relatively common.

In this lesson designed to enhance literacy skills, students study a disease outbreak and the investigation that followed to understand the role that public health workers play in protecting the communities they serve.

TED Studies, created in collaboration with Wiley, are curated video collections — supplemented by rich educational materials — for students, educators and self-guided learners. In Reworking the Western Diet, speakers examine how that diet — processed, high in refined sugars, and heavy in corn, soy, meat and dairy — is making us and the environment sick. These TED Talks blaze the trail to sustainable farming and a more sensible diet.

Ayako Suwa is intent on spreading a new concept of food that evades labels such as gourmet and nutritional. She believes that to eat is to live, but we must taste to truly evolve, and those tastes include happiness, regret, anger and more.

Students conduct an experiment to determine whether or not the sense of smell is important to being able to recognize foods by taste. They do this by attempting to identify several different foods that have similar textures. For some of the attempts, students hold their noses and close their eyes, while for others they only close their eyes. After they have conducted the experiment, they create bar graphs showing the number of correct and incorrect identifications for the two different experimental conditions tested.

In this video adapted from Earth Island Institute, meet a high school student who educated her community about how a coal-burning power plant was contributing to asthma and other health problems there.

In the capstone, Unit 3, students are provided a real-world example of local community action to address the challenge of "healthy food access." The 2015 Leon County (Florida) Sustainable Communities Summit highlights the results of communities working together to promote environmental and food justice. By the end of Unit 3, instructors can deliver a call to action to empower students to be participatory citizens in their communities. The summative assessment will evaluate the students' ability to synthesize the module learning objectives and demonstrate the use of science practices.

Welcome to the volleyball activity content. As you work through the content, keep in mind there will be a quiz at the end to assess your knowledge.

The benefits of physical activity and exercise are universally recognized—and have been for far longer than one might think. Our Paleolithic ancestors regularly engaged in physical activity to survive. However, rather than chasing after a soccer ball to win a game or taking a leisurely stroll down a tree-lined path, they “worked out” by chasing after their next meal. For them, no exercise meant no food. How’s that for a health benefit?

A refreshing intervention in dance studies, this book brings together elements of historiography, cultural memory, folklore, and dance across comparatively narrow but markedly heterogeneous localities. Rooted in investigations of often newly discovered primary sources, the essays afford many opportunities to compare sociocultural and political reactions to the arrival and practice of popular rotating couple dances, such as the Waltz and the Polka. Leading contributors provide a transnational and affective lens onto strikingly diverse topics, ranging from the evolution of romantic couple dances in Croatia, and Strauss’s visits to Hamburg and Altona in the 1830s, to dance as a tool of cultural preservation and expression in twentieth-century Finland.

The 2016 Health Education K–12 Learning Standards and Physical Education K–12 Learning
Standards reflect OSPI’s continuous commitment to supporting rigorous, inclusive, age appropriate, and medically accurate instruction to ensure that students are prepared to live healthy, productive, and successful lives in a global society.

If implemented effectively, these standards and outcomes will lead students to understand and apply the knowledge and
skills necessary for safe and healthy living, and, in turn, for successful learning across all academic disciplines.

The main content covered in this unit includes the Structure and Function of the biological molecules, the energy flow and the nutrients, Nutritional Facts Labels, and the My Plate concept. Proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides in carbohydrates are considered macromolecules, and the lipid molecules are considered as biomolecules. For clarity purposes, proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and fats will be referred to as “biological molecules” throughout the unit. The history of studying these biological molecules dates back to the early 19th century. British physician-chemist, William Prout (1785-1850) was the first to classify “foodstuffs or ingredients of life into saccharinous (carbohydrates), oleaginous (fats), and albuminous (proteins)” and urged that “a satisfactory diet should include carbohydrates, fats, protein, and water”3. Carl Schmidt coined the term “carbohydrates” in 1844.
