We offered an enrichment program for high school students with the theme, "The Environment, Health, and You" during the Summer of 2022 and the Spring of 2023. We developed several educational modules for high school students that provided them with an opportunity to learn and explore the foundations of physiological systems, nutrient needs to maintain health, and the impact that environmental factors can have on them. The modules included videos, discussion boards, games, readings, and labs. These modules were integrated into the first session: Your Body and Health. On , the first module explored the basic physiology and anatomy of the body with respect to the organization of cells into organ systems. Additionally, the educational content included information on macro- and micronutrients and their impact on body development, nutrition, and metabolism. The nutrition module explored nutrition concepts and various factors that can impact healthy eating patterns, such as food insecurity issues and the consumption of ultraprocessed foods. A lab activity on label reading was included to help empower students to make healthy choices. A total of 43 high school students participated in the program. Overall, the quality of the educational content in the modules was rated highly by the students, and they indicated that the educational experience inspired them to learn more about the physiology and nutrition concepts associated with human metabolism, and the importance of healthy food choices to maintain health. We describe how we integrated guided learning teaching modules in an enrichment program for high school students with the aim of enhancing their knowledge and skills to empower them to take charge of their own health risks and well-being.
我们在 2022 年夏季和 2023 年春季为高中生提供了一个以“环境、健康与你”为主题的强化项目。我们为高中生开发了几个教育模块，让他们有机会学习和探索生理系统的基础、维持健康所需的营养以及环境因素对他们的影响。这些模块包括视频、讨论板、游戏、阅读材料和实验室。这些模块整合到第一部分：你的身体与健康。在第一模块中，我们探讨了细胞组织成器官系统的基本生理和解剖学。此外，教育内容还包括有关宏量营养素和微量营养素及其对身体发育、营养和新陈代谢影响的信息。营养模块探讨了营养概念以及各种可能影响健康饮食模式的因素，如粮食不安全问题和超加工食品的消费。还包括一个关于标签阅读的实验室活动，以帮助学生做出健康的选择。共有 43 名高中生参加了该项目。总的来说，学生们对模块中的教育内容质量评价很高，他们表示，这一教育体验激发了他们更多地了解与人类新陈代谢相关的生理学和营养概念，以及选择健康食品对维持健康的重要性。我们描述了如何将引导式学习教学模块整合到高中生的强化项目中，以提高他们的知识和技能，使他们能够掌控自己的健康风险和福祉。
