What’s Included

• ✅ Grade 3 Health Worksheets | Reliable Sources & Misinformation (PDF) – Introduces the difference between trustworthy information and misinformation using student-friendly scenarios.
• ✅ Grade 3 Health – Evaluating Information Worksheet (NHES) PDF – Guides students through a simple evaluation process and prompts evidence-based explanations for their choices.

Skills & Standards

Built for health learning in the NHES framework, these materials support students in using crosscutting concepts (such as cause-and-effect in health decisions and systems/community support) to understand how information impacts behavior. Students practice disciplinary core ideas for health by connecting accurate information to safer choices, then using modeling strategies where teachers demonstrate how to evaluate a source before students apply the same steps. Tasks emphasize analytical reasoning by asking students to compare options, spot warning signs of misinformation, and justify conclusions. Throughout the worksheets, students write and speak using evidence-based explanations, strengthening their ability to support health decisions with reasons and information they can verify.

Perfect For

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

How to Use

Use this lesson bundle as a multi-day sequence: Day 1 preview key ideas about reliable sources, Day 2 complete the evaluating information worksheet and review student justifications, and Day 3 connect learning to real-life support with the community resources worksheet. For centers, place one worksheet at a time with a short teacher prompt card (what to look for, what to say, and what evidence to use). For homework or review, assign the evaluating information worksheet and ask students to underline the exact reason their choice is supported. Keep a quick class anchor chart of evaluation steps so students can transfer the approach to new health topics across the unit.

With these NHES-aligned worksheets, you can help students access valid health information, products, and services confidently—by thinking critically and explaining their decisions with evidence. ✅
