It says that people construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world, through experiencing things and reflecting on those experiences. When we encounter something new, we have to reconcile it with our previous ideas and experience, maybe changing what we believe, or maybe discarding the new information as irrelevant. In any case, we are active creators of our own knowledge. To do this, we must ask questions, explore, and assess what we know. krislyne2001 https://padlet.com/krislyne2001/vko6fgjdnevk/wish/141292280 Human beings construct an understanding about health their entire life.They do this through experiences either in the classroom or the real world. It is the job of a health teacher to teach their students to build on their knowledge and use it in a healthy manner throughout their life.

After discussing the importance of eating healthier foods and decreasing unhealthy ones.  Ex: Students (working in groups of 4) will develop a product that informs others of the dangers associated with poor nutrition and poor fitness habits as well as the lifestyle changes that can combat it. Likewise, students will research (online or through other means) health issues that contribute to factors associated with obesity, anorexic, or other health issues and organizations that help to educate the general public about these health issues and their dangers.
This allows students to the research and find out for themselves instead of just taking it from one source, the teacher.
