Health in Grade 7 introduces students to physical, mental, and social well-being. Through inquiry learning, students ask questions about nutrition, fitness, safety, and emotions while testing strategies for healthy living. Instead of only memorizing facts, they explore how lifestyle choices affect growth, relationships, and future health. Activities such as food planning, fitness tracking, and role-play make the subject practical and engaging. By linking knowledge to everyday habits, Health becomes a guide for responsible choices, resilience, and lifelong wellness.
