Getting Healthy is Fun [] "SuperKids can identify Superfoods any time, any place and without any hitches--even if the Superfoods are not "in character". After all, SuperKids always make sure to eat their fill of fruits and vegetables everyday--and they're always ready to help others eat enough fruits and vegetables too!"

All Systems Are Go! [] "Arnold is missing a number of body parts. Students are presented with a body system and a variety of organs. Students drag and drop all the organs that belong in that particular body system to Arnold's body. Once all four systems are complete, a clothed Arnold will appear. But if students drag in an organ that doesn't belong, all the organs pop out and students have to start that system over."

"Version 3.0 of the organization’s innovative health curriculum offers 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students with an academically rigorous health education curriculum that incorporates core academic subjects (math, science, language arts and social studies) and meets both National Health Education Standards and Ohio State Academic Content Standards.

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of website utilization and the components of websites in use in middle and high school physical education programs. Since websites will become increasingly important to physical education departments, physical education teachers need to create websites that are well designed in order to strengthen their efforts to teach students about physical activity and health."
