LEARNING PLAN

Subject: HEALTH 7 Year and Section: Grade 7- St. John the Evangelist A - B
Date: June 21 and July 5
July 12 – Summative Test

Transfer Goal:
The students will independently use their learning to appropriately manage their concerns and challenges
as adolescents, so that in the long run, they take responsibility for their own health in developing and
maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle as loving and caring children of God.

Essential Understanding: Human growth is the increase in size of an individual, while development is a
lifelong process of acquisition of various skills and abilities. An understanding of the changes in different stages
of human being helps an individual provide the family, school, and community the necessary care, guidance,
and attention children and teenagers need.
