Problem based learning is great in many ways. It helps students understand problems and exactly what steps they need to take in order to solve them or move past it. Here is a clip of this being implemented in a classroom.

Here are also a few examples of service learning ideas and projects to share with your class. In health there's a lot that goes on and ties into the community. A few examples I thought were cool were organizing/assisting a blood drive, teaching kids about proper safety, helping younger or older people in the community, and fixing peoples bikes or things like that, etc. I think these are all great ideas to implement for service learning and would be a great opportunity to teach your students about your content area and helping in the community.

Below is a link to a page that talks about cooperative learning in health. it lists a few ideas and examples of how to implement them within the classroom setup. Communication is a big thing when it comes to health and success and this page shares a few points about that as well. Having students discuss and communicate gives them that opportunity to express themselves and succeed with one another.

Co-operative learning is a very effective way of involving all students in purposeful, interactive learning in health and physical education programmes. Because students work with their peers for a common goal, this approach can be particularly useful with students whose cultural backgrounds do not encourage individualism. The main features of co-operative learning are:

positive interdependence (students work in groups, with assigned roles, to achieve common goals);

face-to-face interaction between the students (they develop oral communication skills and other interpersonal skills);

individual accountability for learning and for helping others to learn through the given task;

group processing (the students are encouraged to reflect on how well their group functioned in working towards its learning goals).

Examples

A co-operative learning activity is given on page 15 of the Curriculum in Action book Attitudes and Values: Olympic Ideals in Physical Education. See also examples from sport studies units.

In health it's important to teach the kids that these things last forever and that they mostly have control over. An authentic activity I introduced to my class was that they were able to pick one category of health they'd like to improve in. They did research and set goals to improve this aspect of their life during and after class. It gave the students an opportunity to choose what they wanted and give them motivation to find a better understanding and push towards reaching this goal in life.

A good example of project based learning in the world of health is a project I stumbled across involving the students working through a unit for a period of time and creating a project or presentation. The assignment here is to learn through the unit of diseases and take in information before putting it all together at the end. I require my students to input certain things from this unit into their project so they understand what is important and how these apply to health and the unit.
