Introduction

Obesity has been one of the major issues in the health sector for past several years. This is the health concern not only associated with the adults, but it also has taken the children into its circle of effects. The article selected for the study and instructional project is the cluster of risks that are linked to the child obesity.

This essay is aimed at providing the instructional project to help the fifth grade students to apply the scientific methods and principles to assess the selected problems. An effort is made to act in accordance with the project with the recommended chapter guidelines. All the elements presented in the project are strived to be logically connected and well explained.

Discussion

Child obesity is one of the health concerns that have drawn the attention of the recent health sector officials towards it. It has been observed that children with such health issue might possess the cluster of health conditions that might increase their risk of developing the diabetes and heart diabetes at an early age.

The research studies have been warning the health officials to take preventive measures about the child obesity which if neglected, might give birth to serious health complications. For the early grade students, it is necessary to understand the worth of their health and lived up life. They must know about the complexities of health that might arise due to the lack of health care and proper food diet (Anonymous, 2004).

Instructional Goals

This science project is aimed at providing the tools of analysis and understanding that might help the students to curb the disease of child obesity. The health issue might arise due to improper eating habits and daily exercise. The objectives and the instructional goals of the project are as follows (Anonymous, 2011):

The students should know about the worth of living a healthy life and healthy eating habits

Developing an understanding of the child obesity and its consequences backed with evidence and explanation

To understand the provided help by science in evolving the concept and bringing equilibrium to life

To understand the measurement tools that can be used to identify the disease

To learn the application of these measurement tools to protect the health of oneself

To recognize the abilities and learning skills those are common in the class students

To bring in the class room activities those help the students to understand the science mechanism

To create a healthy learning environment that adds to the investigating and inquiry abilities of the children

Problem Solving Skills

One of the main tasks of this project is to recognize the problem solving skills students may possess that will help them to performed better to best in their project and class activities. Students of this age have sharp learning abilities and instincts that incline them to observe their surroundings and learn from their environment. Identifying the problem solving skills of students of such grade is critical in a sense that if not done properly it might hurt their innocence and smooth learning process (Anonymous, 1996).
