Class time: 12:40-2:20
In 8th grade, we continue to build off of all of our previous topics in health. Our 8th graders focus on disease prevention. In our disease prevention unit, we focus on how disuse of the body, obesity, alcohol and tobacco contribute to our health status. We also take a look at how the immune system functions and how we combat disease. Students also look at being able to explain how to get help for mental and emotional issues and what is that is contributing to those feelings. In our Draw The Line unit we take a deeper dive into setting limits, refusal skills, information about STD's and HIV. There are many other topics that we may touch on as well!
