NIH Curriculum Supplement for Middle School: The Science of Healthy Behaviors
Designed for use in 7th and 8th grade classrooms, this curriculum supplement, sponsored by the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research, the Office of Science Education and the National Institute of Nursing Research, and developed by Biological Sciences Curriculum Study and SAIC, introduces students to the scientific study of behavior. Through inquiry-based activities, students investigate what behavior is and how it can be studied. They investigate how a variety of factors influence behaviors in complex ways and learn about the long- and short-term health consequences of behaviors.
