A Pathfinder created by Emily Miller
February 22, 2010








Health and fitness are two things you will learn about your entire life. This pathfinder is intended to assist elementary, middle, and high school students in locating quality internet sources about their physical, and in some cases, emotional, well-being.


Selection Process
Materials were chosen based on the following:

Accuracy - information is no more than ten years old and sites are sponsored by authoritative sources.

User Friendly and Age Appropriate - websites are easy to navigate for the intended audience. Websites for children (specifically, elementary school students) are free of graphic content and language. The language that is used is easy for the average student to read and understand. Websites for teens (specifically, middle and high school students) are free of graphic content and language. The language that is used is easy for the average student to read and understand.

Information for Teachers - not all of the good websites have information for teachers, but I did make a point of looking for sites that do have it.
