“Kids Health--www.kidshealth.org Explains to kids how the human body works, what makes them sick, and how to be safe. The website is divided into sections for adults, teens, and children and contains games and activities.
It’s My Life (PBS Kids)--http://pbskids.org/itsmylife/ Organized by topics such as friends, family, school, and body. Printable activities include journal pages and discussion questions. The website includes lesson plans on bullies, staying home alone, smoking, eating disorders, and drug abuse.”
These resources can be incorporated into the health education program at school by topic. For example, when studying the human body and safety, the Kidshealth website and its description according to Anspaugh and Ezell (2010) would be ideal to use in conjunction with it. Another example would be in regards to studying the body would be the PBS website entitled ‘It’s my life’. This website included safety and diseases and their effects on the body. Both of these resources are excellent examples of online resources available to teachers.
