Description:
KidsHealth.org is a website devoted to the health of children and teens. The site has three main areas: one for kids, one for parents, and one for health care professionals (i.e. pediatricians). The “Parents” page has a lot of information on topics such as: childhood stress, attention disorders, allergies and keeping the home safe It also has a comprehensive, detailed listing of childhood infections. The “Kids” section includes learning lessons that contain excellent life science content. For example a section called “My Body” contains illustrated articles on topics such as, the eye, the brain, the ear, and the heart. Elementary school teachers could use these articles to supplement a health unit. Some of the children’s learning lessons would also be appropriate for adult learners, especially those in family literacy settings.
