Alive & Well Hands on Health

God's Most Amazing Creation: YOU!

Students will gain an appreciation for the intricate way that God designed them. They will also be encouraged to respect and protect their bodies by making God-honoring choices. Each week we will investigate a different body system through hands on lab activities such as microscopic cell viewing, investigating the insides of bones, dissecting a pig heart, inflating pig lungs, testing reflexes and more. Information about the effects of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, poor nutrition, lack of exercise and stress will be woven into the discussions of each body system. Students will take basic notes, participate in lab activities and be assigned a weekly project that must be finished before the next class session.
