Teen Health and Wellness

This resource is also available through AEA 11 http://www.aea11.k12.ia.us/ under the “Resources and Research Tools.”
What is it: as it sounds topics are related to teen health and wellness. Topics are listed and then are narrowed down into smaller topics (tree search). Also some article have related topics listed on the left part of the page.
The major topics include: Body basics; Developmental disabilities and disorders; diseases, infections and conditions; diversity; drugs and alcohol; eating disorders; family life; friendship and dating; green living; grief and loss; mind, mood, and emotions; nutrition, fitness, and appearance; safety; sexuality and sexual health; skills for school, work and life.
There also is a glossary that students can use and refer to. Lastly if you are reading an article, resources (both fiction and nonfiction) are included. If you want to incorporate fiction titles in with units, this could be one possible way to do this. This resource is also great in that it gives the “how to cite this article” at the bottom of each page. Additionally there is a link for how to cite this article that will bring up a new window with just the citation.
