Introduction

Target audience: The teaching materials provided in this section are compiled for junior secondary school students suiting their growth and health needs. We designed these materials to cultivate students' skills for healthy living and equip them to face new challenges and adapt to the changing environment.

Reading Articles: Explore health concepts around a specific topic and can be used as reading materials for students before or after the lessons.

Student worksheets: Compile multiple-choice and short-answer questions to help students grasp the article's main points. They can serve as after-class exercises and teachers' references. Teachers are encouraged to develop additional assessment questions suitable for students' levels.

Cases: Compile in the form of a story describing the situation faced by young people, which can serve as material for case study and group discussion. The questions we provided encourage students to evaluate a problem and develop possible solutions or improvement plans. Applying the knowledge and life experiences they have learned can hone students' problem-solving skills and creativity and help them make wise analyses and responses when encountering similar situations.

Record sheets: Help students review personal living habits, such as exercise and sleeping habits; careful use of these record sheets will help gradually establish a healthy lifestyle.
