Health Education Standards and Resources
Students in grade six develop more sophistication in understanding health issues and practicing health skills. They apply physical, emotional, social, and environmental health skills and strategies to improve or maintain personal and family health (self-awareness, social awareness, self-management, responsible decision making, and relationship skills). Students begin to understand adolescent health issues and concerns and the relationship between choices and consequences (responsible decision making). They understand how to be a positive role model (social awareness and relationship skills) and the impact of positive and negative peer pressure (social awareness and relationship skills). Students demonstrate injury-prevention behaviors at school and elsewhere (self-management).

Physical Education Standards and Resources
Students in grade six apply fundamental skills and knowledge of anatomical structures and movement principles to build movement competence and confidence through acquisition, performance, and refinement of skills. Cooperative and competitive small-group games are appropriate as well as outdoor pursuits, fitness activities, dance and rhythmic activities, aquatics, individual performance activities, and sports (net/wall, striking/fielding, and goal/target), with an emphasis on developing skills and tactical understanding. Students use feedback to initiate and maintain practice to improve skill performance. Students assess their health-related fitness status and set reasonable and appropriate goals for development, maintenance, and improvement. Students in grade six will explain the connection between energy balance and nutrition guidelines, meal planning, and heart rate. Social interaction becomes more complex as peer pressure becomes increasingly pronounced, impacting individual performance. Students solve problems and make responsible decisions as they work together. They identify and seek opportunities to participate in regular physical activity at school and outside the school environment.
