M is for Medical Websites

I'm currently participating in 

an ABC's for homeschooling challenge.  

Since it falls on Tuesdays, 

I am adding a technological slant to the challenge.  

I hope you stay tuned and enjoy my entries.

 

 

Children need to learn 

medical-related information.

 

 

I think it's important to show kids about their bodies.  Providing children with material to learn about bones and muscles is essential to them.  You can use book, workbooks, CDs, and websites, too.  No matter how the information is presented, children need to know how their bodies function. 

 

 

KidsHealth.org is a very simple website.

 

 

KidsHealth is one website that teaches about children's health.  This website breaks down for parents, teachers, children, and teen viewpoints.  Illnesses and growth are covered in the kid's version.  Recipes and Drugs are just two topics covered in the teen's version.  For parents, behavior and medications are discussed.  For teachers, there are guides based on grades.

MedlinePlus is a more academic website.

 

 

MedlinePlus is a much more technical website, but I think is worth mentioning.  Health topics are broken down in alphabetical order.  Drugs and supplements are covered, too.  There is also a sections that is broken down to target women, children, men, and senior populations.

Healthopedia is a more detailed website.

Healthopedia is another website I found.  This one covers some common surgeries and tests that are administered.  It also talks about nutrition and symptoms of possible illnesses.  This website, like MedlinePlus, shows topics in alphabetical order.  This website claims to cover over 1500 topics; that's a lot of information.

 

 

Well, thanks for reading this entry.  I hope I have provided a different way to teach your children about their bodies.  These websites provide visuals and information presented in various ways to get people to understand how their body parts function.  Illnesses are cataloged and presented in understandable manners.  There is one caveat: Visit these websites before directing your children to them; the information might be too advanced for the younger ones.

 

 

Next week, I will be covering the letter N.  Stay tuned!

How about you, my readers?  Have you found educational websites about children's health?  Would you use these websites to teach children about their bodies?  I believe in using educational websites to teach children the topics they need to learn.  I encourage you to expose your children to education through technology.

I pray that God gives you all, my beloveds, His wisdom and peace.
