Great curriculum

I used this text for a co-op high school class. It was a success! As a mental health nurse as well as a homeschool mom/teacher I was impressed with the quality and breadth of the content. We also utilized about 90% of the student notebook. It made planning very simple.

Highly recommend

We have dug into this curriculum this year and I couldn't be happier with it. We have covered and will cover things like: - reading nutrition labels - what a real heathy diet actually looks like - macro/micro nutrients - importance of physical exercise - mental + emotional health - healthy relationships - senses - healthy digestion All from a biblical worldview, which I love. This curriculum has given me the opportunity to hit on topics I've always wanted to but never seem to find the time. I am using this with my 9th and 11th grader and giving them an elective credit for this course. We are using the textbook and the notebook as well. If you've been looking for a great resource for teaching your kids about their health, I highly recommend Apologia's Health + Nutrition!

Science from a Christian woldview

Apologia products have long been the standard when it comes to preparing kids for college-level science, AP or CLEP tests, and/or pursuing scientific careers. They do a fantastic job of teaching science from a Christian worldview while making sure kids are aware of the secular scientific views as well. I’ve always appreciated how they explain how the Christian worldview is more scientifically sound while being honest about the areas where Christians may struggle to come up with explanations.

Description

Becoming a young adult is often filled with uncertainty about maturity and the choices that accompany this stage of life. Apologia’s 2nd edition of health and nutrition curriculum is designed to remove some of this uncertainty, equipping your student with what they need to know to make the best choices they can for themselves as they become young adults. This curriculum is written to your student in a conversational tone, and cultivates independent learning.

There are 2 ways to give credit for this course.

  • State Requirement – Students who are taking health and nutrition as a state requirement should also complete the student notebook. The notebook contains projects, Study Guides, and tests for the student to complete for State credit. The answers to the “On Your Own” questions are found at the end of each module, and the answers to the Study Guides and tests are found online at the Book Extra site for this title. A student could easily finish the course in one semester (14 weeks), reading one module per week. However, if your student wanted to take it over the course of a year (28 weeks), they would plan to read through a module every two weeks at his or her leisure.
  • Elective – Students who are taking health and nutrition as an elective course do not have to complete the student notebook, though we do recommend it for the course. As an elective, students would be expected to read the textbook and complete the “On Your Own” questions to ensure they have comprehended the materials. The answers to the On Your Own questions are found at the end of each module. A student could easily finish the course in one semester (14 weeks), reading one module per week. However, if your student wanted to take it over the course of a year (28 weeks), they would plan to read through a module every two weeks at his or her leisure.

The Answer Key is included on the Apologia Book Extras site. This course is for high school credit (1 or 2 semesters tailored to your needs).

Students will study the human body systems, senses, genetics, and temperaments. They’ll also learn one of the most impactful things at work in their lives as young adults: how physical influences impact their thoughts and feelings. The course respectfully covers relevant topics such as mental illness and emotional stability, the value of another human being, culture, biological sex as related to our gender roles, families, socialization, communication skills, and conflict resolution skills.

Students will also gain an in-depth knowledge of both macronutrients and micronutrients, including the importance of exercise and proper diet.
