April 2016: Centers for Disease Control - BAM! for Kids ages 9-13

Greetings! The CDC has been in the news quite a bit in the last 12 months, first with the Ebola outbreak and now with Zika. But did you know that the CDC website has a subsection for kids? BAM! Body and Mind is designed for students 9-13, with resources on diseases, food and nutrition, physical activity, and more. As the CDC explains, "the site focuses on topics that kids told us are important to them— such as stress and physical fitness— using kid-friendly lingo, games, quizzes, and other interactive features". The activities are also linked to standards for science and health. Take a look! Rosanne
