694: Human Energy Balance and Science Instruction I
These graduate courses are available only to HSTA teachers and are offered through the College of Human Resources and Education, Department of Educational Theory and Practice, at West Virginia University. Federal funds from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health help to support these offerings.
Human energy balance and its relationship to secondary level science and math instruction is a special emphasis of the above offerings, which are intended to enrich HSTA Teachers' knowledge, skills, and ideas in providing HSTA club programming as well as regular classroom instruction for secondary level students. The human energy balance theme is highly relevant to the National Science Education "Content" Standards, e.g., Science and Technology, Science in Personal and Social Perspectives, and Life Sciences. The themes also provides rich opportunities for math-science interaction as well as an examination of the earth system impacts associated with policies and infrastructures that facilitate or combat obesity.
Two versions of the Spring 2004 semester course are available: One for HSTA teachers implementing the seven physical activity research projects to increase physical activity and a second version for all other interested HSTA teachers. Both offerings embed the study/use of pedometers, mathematics enrichment in the context of science, and environmental impacts of policies and infrastructures that promote or combat obesity.
