Lesson Menu #
The curriculum is organized into eight modules. These modules contain new lessons for each grade level. Each of the eight modules includes four week-long lessons. Modules and lessons can be taught in any order to fit classroom needs.
On the right, you will also see Community Resources. These are downloadable resources that can be used to enrich the teaching of each module.
Community Resources #
Community Engagement Resources can be used as an enhancement to our interactive classroom lessons. These resources provide the teacher with approved online websites, community visitor suggestions, and fun school and community-wide project ideas that broaden and enrich the teaching of each module.
Lesson Views #
After choosing a grade and lesson module, teachers can select from 3 views: Lesson View, Daily Dose, or Health + PE.
Lesson View
The first tab is the Lesson View, which shows the entire 45-minute lesson with notes for the teacher. This view tends to be best for the school nurse, counselor, or general health educator.
Daily Dose
Daily Dose provides a 5-7 minute activity. This is best for the teacher who has only a few minutes to deliver a Health lesson. This view culminates in a reflection, quiz, or challenge on the final day of the week.
Health + PE
The Health + PE tab was designed specifically for PE teachers in charge of health instruction. The activities, games, and teacher notes weave together both Health and PE learning standards. The first three screens work as active warm-up activities and the remaining two work as cool-down activities.
Lesson Assessments
QuaverHealth•PE has assessments in each of the three views: Lesson View, Daily Dose, and Health•PE. Click here, and we will cover a few of the different types of assessments used.
Launch a Lesson #
QuaverHealth•PE is built on a series of screens with a variety of lesson content on each.

A built-in audio player with relevant songs is included with every lesson.
