FiT Work 18: First Aid and CPR

FiT Work #18 First Aid and CPR - Due @ End of Period

Knowing how to administer basic first aid and how to perform cardiopulmonary respiration (CPR) can literally save a life! But before entering into an emergency situation make sure you will not be in any danger ... remember you are there to help, not become a victim yourself.

Once you know the area around a victim is safe there are general rules that should be followed as most injuries must be treated very quickly. To watch a video about basic first aid for emergencies such as head injury, nose bleed, heat stroke, choking, allergies, burns, bleeding, and unconsciousness.click this link.

The two problems associated with someone having a heart attack, or going into cardiac arrest, are a lack of breathing and no pulse or heart beat. When the proper techniques are used a heart attack victim's heart begins beating again in 60-80% of cases. To watch a video about Hands-Only CPR click this link.

Fit Work #16 - Sleep Deprivation

DUE AT THE END OF THE PERIOD

Tired? We all know the feeling; irritated, groggy, and exceptionally lazy. Chances are you didn't get enough sleep last night, or maybe you haven't slept well for the past few nights. Sleep deprivation is a condition that we often overlook or purposely ignore. Sometimes our favorite T.V. shows, video games, or a late night study session can get in the way of a much needed, good night's rest.

FiT Work 14: Healthy Eating

FiT Work #14- Healthy Eating

Due @ the end of the period

Next to air, water is the most important substance necessary for our survival. We can live with hardly any food for two or more months, but we can only survive a few days without water! Water serves many functions in the body like digesting food, carrying nutrients through the blood to our cells, controlling body temperature, and helping joints move and keeping our lungs moist. You need to drink enough water each day to stay properly hydrated, and more than normal if you exercise, are overweight, are elderly, or live in a hot climate.

It is also important to eat well balanced meals to be sure you are getting enough protein, carbohydrates, and low fat food to fulfill your energy needs and avoid malnutrition. There are many vitamins and minerals that are considered essential and which can come from eating a variety of foods from each food group including dairy, fruit, vegetables, grains, as well as poultry, meat, nuts, or soy. Foods and snacks that are high in salt, sugar, and high fat foods should be avoided because eating too much of these can lead to health problems associated with being overweight.

FiT Work 13 - Teen Body Image

FiT Work #13- Teen Body Image

Due:Wednesday, August 17th @ 11:59 PM

Teenagers go through so many changes in their bodies.  And as your body changes, so does your image of your body.  The way we feel about our body is called body image.  It is easy to be critical on how you look.  Popular media has caused a distorted view of our bodies through the doctored images that they display throughout all forms of media.  

How do you see yourself when you look in the mirror?  Many teens and young adults worry about how they look, "Am I too fat? Too skinny? Am I ugly, pretty or handsome?"  Teens and young adults also worry about fitting in with the rest of the crowd, while also trying to stand out as an individual.

Click HERE to watch a short video called Teen Truth: Body Image.  Once you are ready to answer your homework questions, click HERE to open the google form that contains your homework questions.  You may need to watch the video again in order to answer all of the questions.
