Overview
For this assignment, which is due before midnight on Sunday, you'll be creating a Powerpoint or Google Slide presentation for fictitious (or real) tweens, teenagers or parents of tweens or teenagers.
For each slide, please don't copy & paste from the textbook or my lecture slides. Make this your own, using your own words, and supplementary photos or images (from Google images is fine...that's what I do!).
After you create your presentation, you can either attach your slides (PDF format is best), or you can send a URL to your presentation if you saved it in the cloud.
Here's what you'll need to cover (1-2 slides per bullet point):
- Describe puberty & why it occurs
- Describe the main timeframes of puberty for boys & girls - including specific changes like growth spurts, body changes and body image changes
- Explain how the endocrine system is involved in the puberty process, listing specific hormonal changes that occur during puberty and how they affect both boys and girls
- Discuss why adolescence is a critical juncture in terms of health & lifestyle patterns
- Discuss why adolescents take more risks, and what can be done to keep them safe
- Discuss the importance and recommendations for nutrition for adolescents
- Discuss the importance and recommendations for sports and exercise for adolescents
- Discuss the importance and recommendations for sleep for adolescents
