Summary
Students will use current obesity research to choose a new school nutritional policy with
The goal of improving student health. Once a policy has been chosen, the students will
“Go on an adventure” and investigate the outcome of the policy’s implementation. A
hyperlinked PowerPoint tool will enable students to discover the consequences, both
intended and unintended, of different policy options. The students’ policy choices will
then be evaluated based on policy processes and outcomes.

Learning Outcomes
Students will learn the procedure for establishing public health policy.
Students will employ higher-order thinking skills to evaluate public policy.
Students will investigate current research about obesity in adolescence.
Students will produce a podcast for www.HealthySchoolPodcast.com or a “Healthy” brochure for Skyline
