It can be really difficult eating healthy when you’ve had a really long day/week/semester/year of teaching to the best of your ability. Even worse when you go shopping and struggle to find the best of the bad options available, to feel if you’re at least trying to be good. This handy wallet sized card summarises all the most important quantities in one area: energy protein total fat saturated fat trans fat total carbs sugars fibre sodium This handy card shows the low/best (green), medium/okay (amber), and highest/not great (red) options for each category. So that cup-of-soup you’ve been slurping down in the 5minute break you have at lunch could be a little on the high sodium side when you check its nutrient information panel, but a different brnad with a slightly different recipe might fit within the low sodium numbers. This handy card could your best friend to help you select the healthier options and keep you on track to your best, healthiest self!

It is important that students know how to evaluate a website and determine whether it contains reputable information for use in their tasks. This poster is a great handout or visual display to remind students what to look for when conducting website research. To assist students in thinking more deeply and evaluating the websites they use, there is a checklist of questions (based off the poster) for students to tick of…the more ‘yes’ ticks they have, the more likely it is a quality website suitable for use. There is space for students to note down the URL and a brief summary of the information they are taking from the website.

Have you seen an uptake of students consuming alcoholic beverages at parties and on the sly at school from social peer pressures? Young people who engage in drinking alcohol are more likely to engage in risky behaviours that can lead to injuries and other health conditions. This poster provides an easy to read outline of some of the most major impacts alcohol has on the human body. It includes a brief description of what alcohol is as well as a QR code for students to view a short TED-ED video on ‘How does alcohol make you drunk?’ to help show students the implications of drinking alcohol. For our students to live long and happy lives, we need to help them understand the importance of looking after their bodies (including what they put into it), and minimising their intake of alcoholic drinks is one aspect we can help educated them on.

Sometimes students need a reminder that the world doesn’t revolve around them and their behaviours and words can hurt others, whether they being intentional or unintentional about it. This poster reminds students that if what they are doing interfers with the learning of others, hurts someone or prevents them from being their best self, they should be doing it!

One of the most frustrating things as a teacher is to have students ignore or forget the due dates for their task submissions. Not only does it mean they may lose marks but we have to mark their task after our marking period ends. It is important for students to understand the need to submit tasks by their due dates because it helps them understand time limits for when they get out into the big wide world and get jobs. Everyone needs to be able to work towards a deadline whether they are a shop assistant, cleaner, teacher or a CEO running a business. This poster displays the importance of knowing due dates are coming up quickly and to plan ahead for them.

Have you seen an uptake of students ducking off to the toilets for a quick vape? or sweet smelling vapour wafting in from the quad by the truanting students sitting under your classroom windows? The e-cigarette and vaping market has seen unprecedented growth over the last couple of years and their popularity continues to grow, especially in our youth and adolescents. While people like to think that there may be some positives to consuming vapes over smoking cigarettes, there are many similar short and long term health effects that smoking and vaping has on the body, including cancer, addiction, anxiety, lung damage, fertility and heart issues. This poster provides an easy to read outline of some of the most major impacts vapes and cigarettes have on the human body. It includes a definition of a vape (in case your students like to argue that their vape isn’t bad for them!) as well as a QR code to a cool, short, free YouTube video on ‘Smoking vs Vaping’ by the team from AsapScience whose aim is to make science make sense. For our students to live long and happy lives, we need to help them understand the importance of looking after their bodies (including what they put into it), and minismising their intake of chemicals and nicotine through not vaping or smoking is one aspect we can help educate them on.

Chores are important for kids because the foster responsibility, independence, and valuable life skills, contributing to a child’s self-esteem and helping them learn teamwork.

Also included is a blank chore chart ready for parents to add their own paid and unpaid chores suited for the specific environments of their family.

Every good teacher knows that at the end of a unit or topic it is important to evaluate our teaching methods and reflect on how successful it was. Did our students meet the goals and outcomes we needed them to? Sometimes we forget to take our students perspectives into it. Did they actually learn what we wanted them to? and did they enjoy it? This end of unit reflection sheet is the perfect tool for any student in any subject to fill in at the end of any topic or unit. It asks 4 simple questions that will assist any teacher in finding out if their students understood the content, bonded with the teaching materials, resources, methods and if they actually enjoyed learning about the topic. There’s nothing more truthful than a student telling you what they hated about your class but this way it’s done in a constructive and valuable way.

Teachers and Education Specialists spend so much of their hard earned money on updating their resources for school and work each year.

Have you seen an uptake of students consuming energy drinks as their main form of everyday beverage? The energy drink market has seen unprecedented growth over the last 10 years and their popularity is continuing to grow, especially in our youth and adolescents. While there may be some positives to consuming the occasional energy drink, there are many short and long term health effects including addiction, anxiety, dehydration, fertility and heart issues. This poster provides an easy to read outline of some of the most major impacts energy drinks have on the human body. It includes the definition of an energy drink (in case your students like to argue why their energy drink isn’t an energy drink or isn’t bad for them!) as well as a QR code students can scan to view a cool, short, free YouTube video on ‘What if you only drank energy drinks?’ by the team from AsapScience whose aim is to make science make sense. The inspiration behind the creation of this poster came when one of my 15 year old students had a full-on meltdown and screamed it was the only thing she has to drink today and I was stopping her from hydrating (conveniently forgetting the cool filtered bubblers outside and the fact she’d just come in from break) because I asked her to tip her (just opened) large can of V down the sink because energy drinks are banned at our school (which she already knew!). For our students to live long and happy lives, we need to help them understand the importance of looking after their bodies (including what they put into it), and minimising their intake of energy drinks is one aspect we can help educate them on.

Sometimes understanding the task words / HSC key terms in questions and knowing exactly what is required to answer the question can be a tricky thing for students to grasp. This task uses images of different sports to demonstrate to students the differences in the task words. Each slide of the PowerPoint has a different sport image and different task word for students to write an answer to. For example ‘OUTLINE the fitness requirements to compete in this sport at Olympic level’ accompanied with the image of a swimmer. Task words increase in difficulty with the level of information required throughout the PPT. Display the presentation to class and work through it as a class, or print and provide as a handout to each student. This can be a great task to introduce task words to students or as a revision activity to ensure students are grasping the concepts.

Sometimes understanding the task words / HSC key terms in questions and knowing exactly what is required to answer the question can be a tricky thing for students to grasp. This task uses confectionery, chocolate and/or lollies (images or actual products) to demonstrate this. There are two components - an individual/pair task and a class task. You have the choice to use one or both tasks to develop their understanding of the terms. For the individual/pair task, provide students with a small chocolate bar each and use it to answer each of the questions, such as DESCRIBE the taste of the chocolate bar. Stimulus material incorporating the definitions of each task word, example ingredient lists, the process of making chocolate, descriptive sensory words and an article on the health implications of chocolate are provided to assist students with the more in depth questions that require additional research/knowledge. For the class task, use and display the images on each slide of the PowerPoint presentation to complete the tasks, such as IDENTIFY this item and PROPOSE the introduction of this confectionery at the school canteen. There is a confectionery list and an estimated price list if you would prefer to use the actual products for this component.
