Tell them that these are communicable diseases.

3. Tell students, “ In today’s lesson we will learn about ways our body is protected against diseases, and good health practices you can follow to protect yourself. INSTRUCTION: Tell students, “Laws protect people in many ways. One law protects children against dangerous communicable diseases. Do you remember when you were getting ready for kindergarten and had to get a statement from the doctor saying that you were healthy? You also had to have proof that you had been immunized against certain diseases. The doctor gave you different vaccines. If the flu germ enters your body, you will not get the flu. This is because your body has antibodies against the flu. An antibody is a substance in you body that kills germs.”

4. “ Name one way the body can be protected against diseases?” Write the word IMMUNIZATION on the chalkboard. Explain to students that this is one way we protect ourselves from diseases. “ A doctor or nurse has to give us a shot or medicine so that we can become immunized for some diseases. There are other ways that our body can be protected against disease. Many of these things we can do for ourselves. One way is through universal precaution. one good health habit is to wash your hands with warm soap and water, before and after eating, after sneezing and coughing, and after using the bathroom. You should wash your hands for at least twenty seconds.”

5. Can you name some other good health habits. • Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. • Stay away from people with communicable diseases. • Stay home when you are sick. • Wear clothes that are appropriate to the weather. • Wash your hands after going to the restroom and before eating. • Follow universal precaution procedures. What do we call the precautions that protect our bodies from diseases? Write good health practices on the chalkboard and show students the good health habit pictures located at the the end of this lesson. Students should also be instructed on what to do if they are injured. • Tell an adult. • Wash your hands before and after a bandage is applied.

6. Cover a wound with a clean gauze or bandage. The body has another way of protecting itself against diseases. These are things that are body does without being told. We call these natural defenses. Describe examples of (1) Immunization, (2) Good health practices, and (3) Natural Defenses. Students hold up Appropriate number fingers as the teacher gives the following examples: • You will not be crippled because of polio. (Immunization) • You cover your mouth when you sneeze. (Good health Practice) • Your body is sensitive to chalk dust. ( Natural Defense) CLOSURE: “ Today we have learned about ways your body is protected against diseases. Name one way to protect yourself from disease.”

7. Activities • Students will make a flip book showing three ways diseases can be prevented: Immunization, good health practices, and natural defenses. Under each flap, students are to write and illustrate how to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. (Directions on how to make a flip book are attached behind this lesson). • Students will complete the good health habits activity sheet by cutting and pasting the good health habit in the appropriate box.

Ask students if the the students in the group wanted to play with the new student. Tell students that even though the students in the groups didn’t say that they didn’t want to play with the new student, their body language did. Tell students that body language is ways that we use our body and gestures to speak without actually talking. Explain that the students in the group didn’t make eye contact or talk to the new student. This body language made the new student feel unwelcomed. Call on students to list ways in which we can get along with others.

MATERIALS: Three note cards per student, visuals for How To Say No, A Decision Making Model MATERIALS: Three note card per student, visuals for “How To Say No. A Decision Making Model

32. o SET: “Let’s talk for a moment about decisions. Name some times when you have had to make decisions.”“ Why is it so important to learn to make good decisions? Today we will discuss the importance of making our own decisions and ways in which others can influence our decisions.” INSTRUCTION: Discuss the “Responsible Decision-Making Model” and “Refusal Skills”. Tell students “Refusal skills are skills that help kids avoid participating in high risk behaviors. Examples of refusal skills are… • Say no without giving an excuse. • Repeat the message as often as necessary • Be firm and stick to your decision. Point out that people vary in their opinions and that is often difficult to make choices because others will attempt to influence the choices we make. The final decision should be based on choices that lead to good health, safety, and respect for oneself and others. Discuss ways to avoid risky situations.

33. CLOSURE: Discuss reasons why decision making can be difficult and give examples of making good decisions using refusal skill with real life situations. An example could be saying no to drugs. ACTIVITIY: Give each child three note cards. Have them write agree, disagree, and not sure on the cards. Read various peer pressure situations that allow students to make a decision ( these situations can be found on the peer pressure activity sheet). Students should raise the card which reflect their opinion and be prepared to tell why they chose a particular response. Also, discuss the consequences of making choices based on peer pressure as opposed to personal choices. Additional Activity: Have students complete the refusal skills activity sheet by reading the wrong thing to do on the left side and responding on the right side by listing ways to say no. (Use the refusal skills activity sheet for lesson 3)

Teacher can hang posters in the classroom.

35. Fourth Grade Lesson 4 Standard 1: Disease Prevention The student will understand attitudes and behaviors for preventing and controlling disease. To achieve this standard the learner will • Describe how various diseases are transmitted. • Establish an action plan for personal health standards. MATERIALS: Index cards

36. SET: Discuss helmets with students. Who wears helmets? (police , soldiers, bike riders, football players, etc.) Why do they wear helmets? (Responses should be for protection from injury.) “Today we will learn about the body’s Immune System. Our immune system protects our bodies from disease like a helmet protects the skull and brain from injury. INSTRUCTION: “ The immune system is an amazing organization. It protects our bodies like armies protect cities and countries. Unlike the helmet, which protects only the skull and brain from injury, the immune system protects your entire body from infection. If your immune system does not work properly, germs, viruses, and bacteria will destroy your cells.”

37. Cells in the immune system can detect anything that is not part of the body. One by one, they attack bacteria. Other helper cells signal the body to produce antibodies which multiply to fight the disease. After this disease is defeated, the body returns to normal. When another invading disease is detected, the immune system gears up for battle again. In a healthy immune system, the fighter cells are always on duty ready to protect the body. Guide students through discussion of the body defenses and how each protects the body. These defenses include skin, saliva, tears, mucous, tiny hairs, and white blood cells. Defenses The skin and mucous membranes act as effective barriers. the surface of skin is slightly acidic which makes it difficult for bacteria to survive. An enzyme in sweat, tears, and

38. Saliva, kills many bacteria. Mucous membranes line the respiratory and digestive tracts. Bacteria become trapped in the thick mucous layers and prevents from entering the Body. The hairs that line the nose also help trap bacteria. Any bacteria that are inhaled deeper into the respiratory tract are swept back out again by the cilia—tiny hairs– that line the trachea and bronchi. One reason why smokers are more susceptible to respiratory infections is that hot cigarette smoke disables the cilia slowing the movement of the mucous and bacteria out of the respiratory tract. CLOSURE: “Today we have learned about the body immune system. Tell two ways the immune system protects the body against disease.”

39. ACTIVITY: On index cards write sources for germs. Have students discuss and name body defenses that would help protect against the germs. WEB RESOURCES: www.brainpop.com Type in “Immune System” students can complete the activity after answering the questions at the end of the brain pop.

40. Fourth Grade Lesson 5 Standard 1: Substance Use And Abuse The student will understand appropriate and inappropriate uses of chemical substances.
