Many activities are cross-curricular, integrating health and physical education, social studies, science, art, and math. Teachers will find lists of suggested vocabulary and selected resources accompanying each activity, with vocabulary definitions and more extensive resource references provided in the resources section, including information about type 2 diabetes, eagles, and American Indian and Alaska Natives.
