Overview

Decision-making skills in Grade 6 Health help students learn a repeatable way to choose actions that support wellbeing. This lesson bundle uses NHES-aligned practice to strengthen how learners evaluate options, analyze outcomes, and explain decisions with evidence.

What’s Included

This lesson bundle includes 4 ready-to-teach worksheets focused on decision foundations, consequences, complex skills, and risk assessment. Each worksheet is designed for classroom instruction and follow-up practice using scenarios and guided thinking.

• ✅ 6th Grade Health | Decision Foundations Worksheet (NHES Standard) (PDF) – Establishes decision-making steps and student-friendly criteria for choosing healthful actions.
• ✅ 6th Grade Health Worksheet | Consequences Evaluation (PDF) aligned to NHES standards – Helps students evaluate short- and long-term consequences when multiple choices are possible.
• ✅ 6th Grade Health Worksheet – Developing Complex Decision Skills (PDF) – Builds independence by guiding students through more realistic, multi-step decision scenarios.
• ✅ 6th Grade Health – Assessing Risks Worksheet (NHES) Practice Set (PDF) – Prompts risk assessment using evidence-based reasoning and protective-factor thinking.

Skills & Standards

Aligned to the National Health Education Standards (NHES) framework, these worksheets support health decision-making through crosscutting concepts such as cause and effect and systems thinking (how choices connect to outcomes). Students work with disciplinary core ideas related to health behaviors and influences, using modeling for decision steps, then applying analytical reasoning to compare options. Throughout the activities, learners practice evidence-based explanations by describing why a choice is reasonable and what information supports it.

Perfect For

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

How to Use

Use this lesson bundle across 3–4 class periods: complete the Decision Foundations worksheet first, follow with Consequences Evaluation, then move to Developing Complex Decision Skills, and finish with Assessing Risks. For differentiation, allow students to complete one section together and then work independently on the scenario analysis; for centers, rotate groups so learners practice steps, evidence-based explanations, and peer feedback. If you need quick review, have students add a one-sentence “reasoning statement” at the bottom of each sheet before turning it in.
