The lesson plans listed here cover many different topics. They are aimed mostly at lower elementary students. Some of the plans give links to web sites and others do not use the Internet at all. We examine what humor and laughter is, what causes something to be humorous and the psychological and physical benefits of laughing. Along with humor, we deal with stress and emotions.
Research shows that laughing can be a stress relief.
The emotion section includes early and modern theories of what emotions are and where they come from, things in life that influence our emotions, and the effect of our emotions on our health and wellbeing. Check out the Animal Pavilion, Dirtland, the Snack Bar, and the Space Adventure. A quiz, chat and food forum are offered. Excellent resource for diet and exercise relevant to adolescent needs.
