What should i change about school, im doing a project for health and need to choose something to change?

Try thinking of one on your own, it depends on your school...check the worksheet.

healthier school lunches! esp if its for health class! =]

you could change your eating habits.

no more hw. time at home is ur time. ur at school for like 8 hours a day, why take more work home with u?

Test the air quality does radon seep in to your buildingfron the ground? is asbestos hiding in the walls? How about lead in the paint?

Change the number of HEAVY books kids have to bring home from school every day...so all of your backs aren't deformed by the age of 18!

If you have pop machines at school you could have them replace with juice and water vending machines

you should make the change to eliminate sweets like cookies or ice creams and replace them with sugar free Popsicles and sugar free puddings. Students won't feel as lethargic in the afternoon, plus they are cheaper for the faculty to purchase in bulk! And make it a point to tell the administration (if your school does this) that by eliminating sodas, that juices have MORE sugar and carbs! Good luck!

To help make school healthier, of course changing food is always the first idea. Organic foods, with more veggies and fruit is always the first step. However, it's always more money to go the organic route.
What people seem to over look is the way health is taught in the classroom. Gym is also another class that not taught in the correct mannor. Try thinking of different ways to improve the classes (Seperate gym classes by athletic level. Teach different forms of working out that anyone can handle).

Have u ever heard of "perception about cultural 'norm' vs resistant training" research? This research has been done by scientists, rehabs, and surveyers to see which side is more effective in reducing the amount of teens using drugs & alcohol. Well the 1st 1. Use that in ur project. Remember to put down full reference, so you're not accused of plagiarism.

Basically, the main point is that: trying to tell an already addicted kid to resist peer pressure (from friends and family, who say that using drugs is normal or cool) doesn't improve nor reduce anything. Whereas teaching kids before they're even exposed to drugs that they are unacceptable, neither social nor cultural, reduce so much drug use in teens.

In ur project, don't just bare say that "ok so here is a research done on 'perception about cultural norm vs resistant training', and the 1st 1 works, the 2nd 1 doesn't". Instead, put all ur effort in how to teach kids about cultural & social norm. How drug use in movies, music, and among celebrities are not acceptable. No matter how glorious drugs are portraited in the media, in real life, this is what drug addicts look like, how their lives will turn out, the pains they cause their family to suffer, and how an educated, socially acceptable person will view a drug addict. Show them footages, and if possible, collect videos of widely respected people (eg. drug free celebrities) say about drug is not cool. Use young, good looking images of drug free people if possible, since most kids nowadays go for the 'outter look'. See, they idolize Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. Show me 1 good admirable thing about these girls, lol ;)
