Summer 2025 - Be a Health Scientist!
These are the themes you’ll find running through all five Be a Health Scientist! activities. Health Science is all about finding ways to keep people healthy and helping them get better when they are sick.
● What are some ways people can stay healthy?
● How can we learn more about the spread of germs and diseases?
● What are some ways to help people get better when they are sick?
The human body is complex. There are many parts that work together to protect us from sickness and work to keep us healthy.
When those parts are unable to do their job, health scientists can help in a variety of ways:
● Finding the cause of the problem through tests and identifying ways to fix it.
● Using specially designed equipment to help our body work.
● Making sure our body has what it needs to stay healthy.
CAREERS: ● Athletic Trainer ● Cardiologist ● Dietitian ● Epidemiologist ● Orthopedic Doctor
