Integrative Curricula - This Integrative Curricula follows an adventure story in which the characters (young middle-school aged students) travel in time and space to different parts of the world where they are faced with various health problems which they are required to solve.  Each "Lesson Set" of curricula was developed by repackaging our "Original Curricular Modules" (see description or request FREE CDs of Curriculum) into smaller one- to three-class period lessons which contain lesson plans, class activities and games, worksheets, handouts, and quizzes.  "Lesson Sets" come packaged with a Teacher Guide that introduces the lessons and provides background information for the teacher.  Lessons not only captivate students' interests in unique ways, but they also appeal to their senses of adventure and excitement that can only enhance their education.   Understand the Value of Integration
