Skills & Standards

Aligned to National Health Education Standards (NHES), these activities target students’ abilities to access valid health information and products by using structured evaluation steps. Learners consider crosscutting concepts such as cause-and-effect and how information systems influence choices, while focusing on disciplinary core ideas related to health decision-making, health literacy, and protecting personal health. Teachers can use modeling to demonstrate how to check a source, separate claims from evidence, and notice bias or missing context. Students then engage in analytical reasoning by comparing multiple pieces of information and deciding what best answers a health question. Finally, students produce evidence-based explanations that describe why a source or service is appropriate, using details from the worksheets to support their reasoning.

Perfect For

• Teachers seeking structured instruction
• Sub plans
• Homework or review
• Intervention or centers
• Assessment preparation

How to Use

Use this lesson bundle over 4 multi-day sessions, or flex to fit your class flow: day 1 (Information Sources), day 2 (Understanding Health Services), day 3 (Credibility Evaluation), and day 4 (Applying Health Information). For differentiated instruction, pair students for source-reading, provide a model example for the first evaluation, and offer a checklist for centers. Consider using a brief exit ticket after the Credibility Evaluation worksheet to confirm students can justify their rating with evidence before moving to the final Applying worksheet. Keep student thinking visible by having them underline key evidence in each source before writing conclusions.
