An Example

For the elaboration of a conceptual map you can follow this example.

Exercise 2

Sort these actions into healthy or unhealthy habits.

HEALTHY HABITS	UNHEALTHY HABITS

Conclusions

Once students have answered the questions and have developed the concept map, have acquired new knowledge about this subject, and can easily perform healthy behaviors and this would signal that they have assimilated the knowledge properly.

In addition, the development of the task contributes to the development of learner autonomy, to search for information themselves, and construction of the map will help the assimilation of future knowledge.

Evaluation

To evaluate this task come to an analysis of two aspects.

On the one hand correct questions to determine if students have learned, have found the information is adequate and have responded well to what we asked.

On the other hand, we will evaluate the conceptual map and the others activities, if it appears the answers to the questions and if it is organized clearly.

The vaccines can be injected or drinks.

Activities

The activity that we must take is the development of a conceptual map that reflects a healthy lifestyle, habits to prevent and treat infectious diseases ans types of diseases.
To facilitate the realization of this map, it shall appear the answers to these questions. To answer you can go to the resource center.

• What is health?
• What is the disease?
• Name six healthy habits and explains it.
• Diseases can be...
• How can we prevent infections?
• What are vaccines?
• What is the effect of vaccines in our body?

Remember that all responses must appear in the conceptual map.

Introduction
