4th Grade Field Trip: Some Body!
This field trip sets students on the path to developing a healthy body image. Participants take a close look at the internal and external pressures—especially from the media—to look a certain way. Docents discuss nutrition (making healthy food choices), obesity, diets, and healthy living. The relationship of poor body image to anorexia and bulimia is also discussed. Some Body! has been adapted from a program of the same title developed by the Children's Health Education Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This field trip complements the 4th grade lessons on nutrition and obesity.

5th Grade Field Trip: Genetics
The 5th grade field-trip program on genetics includes a PowerPoint presentation and interaction with a new exhibit on social and genetic factors in health. Students learn about traits, cells, and DNA through the presentation and hands-on activities. They also learn about human origins and the many factors, including genes, that impact health. The exhibit and the talk complement the classroom lessons on genetics.
