Cultural norms and health choices take center stage in this Grade 5 Health worksheet focused on analyzing influences on health. Students examine how culture and traditions can shape everyday behaviors involving diet, physical activity, and sleep routines while considering how to respect different cultural perspectives when making health decisions.

Explore Culture as an Influence on Health

The worksheet moves beyond simply identifying healthy behaviors. Students consider how cultural norms may support wellness in some situations or create barriers in others. They practice explaining connections between traditions and health behaviors and describing respectful approaches to differences in cultural perspectives.

This focus makes the resource useful when teaching students that health choices can be influenced by the customs, expectations, and routines around them. The content is presented within the National Health Education Standards (NHES) framework named for this resource.

Students Practice the Topic in Multiple Ways

Students work with multiple-choice questions, true-false statements, short-answer responses, a dialogue, matching, a cloze passage, a labeled diagram, a reading passage, and an essay. These task types give students opportunities to identify examples, interpret situations, explain cultural influences, and communicate their thinking in both selected-response and written formats.
