Health is about taking care of the body and mind to live a balanced and active life. Through inquiry learning, students explore nutrition, exercise, hygiene, and mental well-being by asking questions, observing habits, and testing healthy choices. Instead of only memorizing facts, they connect lessons to their own daily routines and decisions. Activities such as role-play, projects, and reflections encourage responsibility, problem-solving, and self-awareness. By understanding how choices affect well-being, learners gain the skills to lead healthier lives. In this way, Health becomes not just knowledge—it becomes a lifelong practice of caring for yourself and others.
