Lesson Plans & Activities

Sixth Grade

All HOTT lesson plans are designed with the purpose of increasing students’ awareness of the variety of health careers that are available to them.  If possible, invite the corresponding health professional - noted behind each lesson plan - into your classroom to discuss his/her occupation.  If this is not an option, use the career information included in the lessons to share this/these career(s) with your students.

Did you know.......

Researchers have recommended that career exploration and awareness begin before high school, when students have already made major decisions about courses.
