Hands-On-Health

Have you ever taught a skill or explained a concept to a younger brother or sister? Passing along knowledge that helps shape a young mind can be a rewarding experience, which is why so many people enter the teaching profession. When the lesson is related to some aspect of health education and results in a positive change that increases the individual's chance for a long and healthy life, the rewards are that much greater!

	Here is your chance to gain some firsthand experience as a health teacher. Based on your knowledge of health concepts and/or range of interests, create a lesson plan. If possible, arrange to teach your health lesson to a class of young learners at a local elementary school or preschool. For starters, click the button that prints out your worksheet.
