Evidence about healthy lifestyle: presentation (non-statutory)
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can communicate my findings from a range of scientific reports about healthy and unhealthy lifestyles.
Key learning points
- Scientists collect evidence from research that helps us to make informed choices about healthy lifestyles.
- It is important to examine information from a range of reliable sources.
- Findings can be presented in a range of ways including oral and written forms.
- Information for the general public should be communicated in a clear and accessible way.
Keywords
Lifestyle - A person’s lifestyle is the way they choose to live.
Research - To research something is to find out about it or investigate it carefully.
Evidence - Evidence is information which helps us to prove that something is true or not true.
Secondary source - Secondary sources are texts, images or objects created using information gathered by others.
Communicate - To communicate is to share or exchange information or ideas.
Common misconception
Pupils may think that scientific information communicated with the public should be presented in a complicated and ‘wordy’ way to make it more seem more intelligent or ‘official’.
Explain that information intended to help people make healthy lifestyle choices is best presented in a way that will allow as many people as possible to engage with it, so that they can make informed choices.
Teacher tip
Encourage pupils to think about the health information they have seen and whether or not they felt it was useful in helping them to make healthy choices. They could think about whether the information was easy to understand, whether it was interesting and whether it was relevant to them.
Equipment
None required.
