Teachers

Welcome teachers!  Let’s Get Healthy! is an education and research program that collects real data from real students.

We are based at Oregon Health & Science University and travel all around the state to help the public learn about their health.  Everything that we do is tailored for the individual, which is why we love working with students so much.  Our content and feedback are tailored for each student based on their age, gender, and results.  Plus, the summary data from each of our fairs can be explored online, making it incredibly relevant for students.  

These are their  data, from students their  age, from their  school, city or state.

Lessons

Groups of Oregon teachers have developed lessons on Let’s Get Healthy! topics.  These lessons cover most subject areas and many grade levels, though we’ve focused primarily on middle school.

Some of these lessons encourage students to explore actual data. You can direct your students to data from your own school or a similar school.  Many lessons are not dependent on fair data and instead cover different aspects of healthy choices, chronic diseases, advocacy, epigenetics, research ethics, development, and more.  All of these lessons can be found through our lesson search engine.
