Overview

---

Credible Information Sources for Grade 6 Health focuses on helping students build health information sources habits through four NHES-aligned Health worksheets. In this Lesson Bundle, learners practice how to find, evaluate, and use trustworthy health information and services so they can make safer, more informed decisions in everyday situations. Across the unit, students sort types of sources, learn what makes a source credible, and connect credible information to real-world actions such as choosing appropriate health services and responding appropriately to health messages. The bundle includes 4 worksheets designed for targeted instruction within the National Health Education Standards framework.

Skills & Standards

---

This unit supports National Health Education Standards by strengthening students’ ability to access valid health information and use communication and decision-making skills to respond to health topics effectively. Students practice analytical reasoning by comparing source types, identifying evidence, and examining credibility signals rather than relying on claims alone. They learn to model evidence-based thinking: distinguish facts from opinions, look for supporting details, and consider how bias or missing information can change what a message is trying to persuade. Students also connect information literacy to health literacy and responsible action by applying what they learn to selecting services and making guidance-based choices. Throughout, learners write short explanations grounded in criteria, strengthening evidence-based communication and reflective decision-making consistent with health education expectations in the framework.

How to Use

---

Plan for 1–3 weeks of instruction depending on your class schedule and pacing needs. Consider starting with a brief warm-up each day (e.g., “Which source is most reliable and why?”) connected to the current worksheet. Use guided practice to model a credibility check with one example source, then have students complete the worksheet independently or in small groups. Close each lesson with an exit ticket that asks students to justify a source choice using one credibility criterion and, when relevant, identify the most appropriate next step for accessing care.
