Lesson Plans

Impactful Elements:

In this lesson, students will read an informational text that describes how certain elements (copper and zinc are highlighted) can affect human health in both positive and negative ways. Current research on these elements and possible treatments for the negative health effects associated with them is also discussed. This lesson is designed to support reading in the content area. The lesson plan includes a note-taking guide, text-dependent questions, a writing prompt, answer keys, and a writing rubric.

Type: Lesson Plan

The Dangers of Sticky Blood:

Students will research the dangers of high blood cholesterol levels in humans. The prevention of high cholesterol and lowering of high cholesterol to improve health of individuals will be presented in an informative online newsletter. The newsletters will be utilized to raise community awareness of the issue within the school by printing out the final products and displaying them in the school hallway. The online tool Smore will be used for constructing the newsletter and can be shared on social media to reach those that are not in the school community.
