Let's review!

This year in Healthy Living you learned how eating patterns affect long-term health, the personal and external factors behind food choices, body image and performance pressure, the benefits and dangers of technology, bullying, harassment and exploitation, links between mental health and substance use, the ripple effects of substances and addictive behaviours, the difference between mental health and mental illness, and (in the human development and sexual health lessons) puberty and relationships, consent and delaying sexual activity, STBBIs and prevention, and the factors in sexual health decisions. Try the questions from each lesson, then press Show answer to check.

Lessons 9 to 12 are part of Ontario's human development and sexual health expectations. If your family has opted out of these, skip those four review sections and quiz questions 9 and 10.

Why did the student bring a ladder to the unit review?

To reach the higher marks. (Two or three sections a day works even better than a ladder.)

How to use this review

  • Do two or three sections a day, not all at once.
  • Say your answers out loud or explain them to your grown-up.
  • If you miss a question, go back and reread that lesson, then try again.
  • Many answers can be said in different ways. Your answer is right if it has the same big idea.
Check your understanding

For parents and teachers

How to use this review: Ask your child to explain answers in their own words. For health topics, the reasoning matters more than exact wording.

Which lesson to revisit:

  • Can't connect eating patterns to health problems or read %DV: Food and Long-Term Health: Building Healthier Eating Patterns.
  • Can't sort personal and external factors or spot food marketing: Inside and Outside Influences: Why People Eat What They Eat.
  • Thinks supplements or energy drinks are safe for kids, or that eating disorders only affect girls: Body Image, Performance Pressure and Caring for My Body.
  • Shares personal information, uses weak passwords, or misses grooming warning signs: Connected: The Benefits and Dangers of Technology.
  • Calls bullying "just joking", or doesn't know how to respond to pressure for photos: Stand Up, Speak Up: Bullying, Harassment and Exploitation.
  • Thinks substances help with stress, or that legal means safe for teens: Mental Health, Substance Use and the Growing Brain.
  • Only sees personal effects of substances or habits, or doesn't see gaming and gambling as possible addictions: Ripple Effects: Substance Use, Addictions and Related Behaviours.
  • Confuses mental health with mental illness, or would keep a friend's dangerous secret: Mental Health and Mental Illness: Knowing the Difference.
  • Unsure how puberty affects relationships: Growing Up, Growing Connections: Puberty and Changing Relationships.
  • Thinks silence or a pressured yes counts as consent, or mixes up the law: Respect, Consent and Communication: Delaying Sexual Activity.
  • Thinks you can tell by looking if someone has an STBBI, or that the pill prevents infections: Protecting Sexual Health: STBBIs and Preventing Pregnancy.
  • Sees only one side of a decision, or confuses gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation: Thinking It Through: Factors in Sexual Health Decisions.

Reminder: lessons 9 to 12 (Growing Up, Growing Connections: Puberty and Changing Relationships; Respect, Consent and Communication: Delaying Sexual Activity; Protecting Sexual Health: STBBIs and Preventing Pregnancy; Thinking It Through: Factors in Sexual Health Decisions) are part of Ontario's human development and sexual health expectations. Parents may request an exemption from this instruction at school. If your family opted out, skip those four review sections and quiz questions 9 and 10.
