On wednesday, October 16th, 2002 Exercise
Science students in Practicum I (PED 379) travelled to the Wayne Middle
School to give an interactive health presentation for children in grades
5-6. The WSC students provided educational materials, extolled the
virtues of exercise, talked about bone health, demonstrated nutritional
facts, and discussed the benefits of not smoking. Age-appropriate
materials (a smoker’s lung simulator, nutritional displays, models for
demonstration, games, and a cardiovascular heart action kit) were carefully
selected with the intention to provide fun, interactive, and informative
presentations for the children.
Following are some pictures that were taken
during the visit:
