By - Adrienne Campbell
Primary Subject - Health / Physical Education
Grade Level - 6-7
Note from LessonPlansPage.com:The following lesson plan depends on an article that is not included below. We suggest that you locate and adapt an article on the internet about a visit to your health care professional and provide this to your students along with the following worksheet, if it is appropriate, or one that you create yourself.
Rationale:The purpose of this lesson is to familiarize students with the procedure of going to the doctor's office, to know what to expect, what tools are used and why, and to know what questions their doctor can answer.
NJ Core Curriculum Standard:
I. Performance Objectives:
A. Cognitive - At the end of the lesson, the students will know what different health professionals do and the basic tools that they use and why.
B. Social - Students will cooperate and work well with one another to complete their presentation on their health care professional or facility visit.
II. Materials/Equipment:
A. Lesson Plan
B. Handouts
III. Differentiated Instruction:
A. Low level students - make it fairly simple and easy to understand. Step by step.
IV. Procedure:
A. Who has ever been to the doctor?
Anyone ever wonder what all of the poking around was about and why they did what they did?
Does anyone know how to schedule an appointment?
B. Today we are going to cover the different types of health care professionals that I am sure each of you has been to at some point or another.
C. Explain activity. I am going to split you up into different groups. Each group is going to read about a certain health care professional and what might happen on a visit to that professional. Then you are going to answer questions on a worksheet that I will give you. When you are finished, you are going to act out what a trip to your health care professional might be like. You must include the information on the sheet.
D. Divide students into groups. (7 doctors)
E. Student Assessment - participation, inclusion of answers into skit/presentation.
F. Closure - correct any mistakes that might have happened in the skits then say: You all did fabulously! We have some future movie stars in this class!
Directions: After reading the article on a visit to your health care professional or facility, fill in the following worksheet.
After you are finished, your group will present the material to the class in a skit or in a presentation format. You are the teacher! Teach the class what you learned!
All members of the group must be part of the presentation.
Some roles for the skit could be the doctor, nurse, receptionist, mother, father, patient, or other waiting room patients.
If you choose to do the skit, choose one reason/illness to be going to the doctor for and walk the patient through the process step by step.
Suggestions for the different skit scenes:
a) discovering the problem
b) making an appointment
c) the waiting room
d) seeing the nurse/aide
e) seeing the doctor
Be Creative! Have fun with this!
