Healthy London Living

Drawing on a number of leading London medical and science centres, sporting events and venues, this unit introduces the topics of nutrition and digestion, health and the skeletal and muscular systems. Each lesson offers students the chance to develop the skills required to work scientifically and to develop their awareness of socio-scientific issues.

This resource can also be used to support a visit to a museum, science centre or other venue to extend their learning, after which students can apply their understanding to their local area and the health of their school’ s student population and devise an intervention to improve this.

Curriculum links include infectious disease, cholera, John Snow, biomechanics, fitness tests, healthy eating, basal metabolic rate, energy in food,  nutrition, digestion, drugs, alcohol, smoking
