Health Education Standards and Resources
Students in grade five distinguish reliable from unreliable health information and resources. Students’ practices and behaviors demonstrate health knowledge and skills. Emphasis is placed on demonstrating interpersonal skills (relationship skills), assuming responsibility for personal health habits (self-awareness, self-management, and responsible decision making), and practicing behaviors that promote active, healthy lifestyles (self-management). Students analyze the influences of advertising and various media on personal and community health (social awareness).
