Discovery Health

Contact: Suzanne Edgar or Jennifer Thomas-Simmons

Discovery Health is a one-stop website for teaching health education to students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Topics include: the body, alcohol and other drugs, growth and development, mental health, nutrition, physical activity, safety, tobacco, and violence.

Within the website, teachers find lessons, work sheets, videos that they can download or stream, and other materials for teaching students about possibly the most important subject they can learn: their own health.

The website is comprised of research-based, teacher-reviewed, K-12 curriculum. Some of the curricula:

• Here's Looking at You, in the "drugs" section;
• Get Real about Tobacco, in the "tobacco" section;
• Get Real about Violence, in the "violence" section

have already been widely used throughout the country and have been converted to on-line programs for Discovery Health Connection. Other curricula have been created solely for the website and are also available for download.
