e-News from the Weller Health Education Center February/March 2006 CHOKING GAME Recent media reports have highlighted the resurgence of the choking game in our area. This fact sheet contains all of the basic information you need to know to help recognize this problem among your students and protect them from falling victim to this potentially deadly game. =============================== SURVEY IDENTIFIES HIGH RISK BEHAVIORS A new survey created by the Weller Center helped the East Penn School District identify the most prevalent health risk behaviors among students. Read more about the unique survey and how together, Weller and East Penn are helping reduce destructive decision making among students. Contact us for information on how the Weller Center can customize a health risk behavior survey for your school. =============================== CHILLING OUT WITH COLDS It’s February which means it’s the peak of cold and flu season! Help your students learn more about the common cold virus, how the body “catches” a cold, and how to feel better faster. =============================== NEW WHEELS OF ENERGY EXHIBIT
It’s a race to the finish at the Weller Center’s new Wheels of Energy exhibit! Children pedal while corresponding lights illustrate how much energy is expended to burn calories in foods we like to eat. The exhibit is appropriate for children grades pre-K through three.
