Hello, my name is Mrs. Mehrin and I'm really excited to be learning all about the evidence about healthy lifestyles, and we're going to be doing a presentation today.

Welcome to today's lesson from the unit, "Keeping Healthy".

Your learning outcome is, I can communicate my findings from a range of scientific reports about healthy and unhealthy lifestyles.

Now, we're going to be touching upon some of your previous learning and we are going to be looking at secondary sources today.

Now, I know that learning can sometimes be a little bit challenging, but that's okay, because it just means that we are going to work really hard together and we are going to learn lots of fabulous new things.

Now, here are your keywords for today's lesson.

Alongside these keywords are the definitions as well.

Now, I am going to be referring to these throughout today's lesson, however, if you find it helpful, you can pause the video here and you can jot these down now.

Fantastic, well done.

So our lesson today is split into two parts.

Let's begin with the first one, evidence from research.

Now, Izzy has been learning about healthy lifestyles and she says, "My teacher has told me lots of information about things I can do to stay healthy, but how does he know that information? How do we know the effect of different things on our bodies?" Now, what do you think? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fabulous, well done.

So medical scientists carry out research into how different things affect our bodies and minds.

And here we have a medical scientist.

Now, this gives us evidence to help us make choices about healthy lifestyles.

And when they have completed their inquiries, they draw conclusions and publish their findings so others can read about them.

Now, let's do a quick check-in of your learning so far.

Scientists collect something from research that helps us to make informed choices about healthy lifestyles.

Is it A, equipment, B, evidence, C, assumptions or D predictions? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fabulous, well done, the answer is evidence.

So scientists collect evidence from research that helps us to make informed choices about healthy lifestyles.

Now, often the evidence from scientists' inquiries is then used to create secondary sources of information.

So secondary source could be in written form, such as in magazines or on websites, or they can be videos or recordings, such as podcasts or clips made for social media apps.

Now, Sophia has been finding out more about healthy choices around what she drinks and she says, "I have looked at two reliable sources and I'm going to read a third one." Now, why is it a good idea to examine a range of reliable sources and not just one? What do you think? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fabulous, well done.

So sometimes different inquiries or sources come to different conclusions based on what was found out.

So looking at a number of secondary sources will allow you to consider as much evidence as possible and then make up your own mind based on the secondary sources that you may have used as evidence.

Now, looking at range of different sources will also help you to spot any incorrect claims or errors that appear in a single source.

Let's do a quick check-in of your learning.

Is this true or false? To help us make more informed choices about our lifestyles, we should always examine more than one reliable source of information.

Is that true or false? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Well done, the answer is true.

Now let's see if you can justify your answer.

Is that because A, examining more than one source gives us more evidence to consider and helps us to identify incorrect information or B, examining more than one source will help us to improve our reading skills and become more healthy? Again, I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Wonderful, well done, the answer is A.

Examining more than one source gives us more evidence to consider and helps us to identify incorrect information.

Now, here is your first task.

It says, "Read the secondary source Sophia found and use the information to make a suggestion about healthy lifestyle choices." So you can find the secondary source information in lesson 13 in the worksheet section.

So if you go onto that, you can find the secondary source that Sophia has found.

So you're going to use that information to make a suggestion about healthy lifestyle choices.

So I'd like you to pause the video here and have a go at doing that, off you go.

Fantastic, well done.

So Aisha says, "I think people should avoid drinking energy drinks, because they can impact their heart health, teeth and sleep and children definitely shouldn't drink energy drinks." Now, if you look on the back of an energy drink, it tells you the age at which it is allowed to drink them.

So children should absolutely not be drinking them.

Alex says, "I think if adults do drink energy drinks, they should not do it often and make sure that they are part of an otherwise healthy balanced diet." Now were your suggestions similar or different to Aisha and Alex's? Wonderful, well done.

So now we are on to the second part of our learning today, which is communicating findings about healthy lifestyles.

So Sophia has carried out her research into the impacts of different drinks on health and would like to communicate her findings with others so they can learn from what she's found out too.

Now, how could she do this? So when you are talking about communicating her findings, how can she tell other people about her findings? How could she do this? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Wonderful, well done.

So information about healthy lifestyles can be communicated, so you can tell people about it in a range of different ways.

Some of these include articles in magazines and newspapers, blogs on websites, information leaflets, video clips, posters and podcasts as well.

Now, did you have any other ideas? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fantastic, well done.

So you could post things on social media as well and that might be a nice way of you being able to communicate information about healthy lifestyles.

Now, findings from research can be presented in a range of different ways.

Now, which of these would not be a good way for Laura to communicate her findings? Would it be A, a podcast explaining what she found out, B, an article detailing the information she found, or C, a photograph of her carrying out her reading? Again, I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Wonderful, well done, the answer is C.

A photograph of her carrying out her reading is not a good way for Laura to communicate her findings, because she's not telling anybody about what she's found out.

Now, Sophia says, "I want to communicate that sugary soft drinks can have a negative impact on people's health, and here's my first draught." So she's written, "Sugary drinks are so bad for your teeth and heart, it is silly to drink them.

Evidence shows that you will lose all of your friends if you drink too many energy drinks, because they will give you bad breath." Now, what do you think of Sophia's first draught? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer for that.

Off you go.

Well done.

So Aisha says, "I don't think people will want to pay attention to your information if you offend them.

Your information needs to give people the facts without insulting anyone," so without making anybody feel bad about themselves.

Jun says, "Your research didn't tell you anything about losing friends because of energy drinks or about bad breath.

Your information should all be true." So Sophia, in her first draught, has used her opinion rather than using the facts from the information that she found from her readings.

So she's not communicated that very well in her first draught.

So Sophia decides to do some edits and here are Sophia's edits.

She says, "Evidence has shown that sugary soft drinks can contribute to tooth decay and having a diet that is very high in sugar can also increase your risk of developing heart disease." So let's break down Sophia's first sentence here.

So we need to look at it and think to ourselves, is this factual? Is this what she actually found out when she was looking at her secondary source? And it is, we do know that sugary soft drinks can cause tooth decay.

We also know that having a diet high in sugar can increase our risk of heart disease.

So let's see what else Sophia has written.

She's put, "We should be careful about how many we drink so that they don't have a negative impact on our health." And again, Sophia is correct, because having energy drinks as an adult as part of an otherwise healthy diet is okay as long as you're not having them every day and frequently.

So she's absolutely right.

We do need to be very careful about how many we drink as an adult.

So remember, energy drinks are for adults, but the sugary soft drinks that Sophia is talking about, that can be for any age.

However, we do need to be really careful about how many we drink, because otherwise it will have a negative impact on our health.

Now, Sophia says, "I also want to tell people what I found out about drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day." Here is another part of my first draught.

She says, "My extensive research proved categorically that maintaining adequate hydration was crucial to ensure peak academic performance." What do you think of Sophia's first draught here? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Wonderful, well done.

So Laura says, "Your sentence is very long and contains lots of long words, which make it quite difficult to understand.

The information is true, but it should be easier for people to understand." And so Sophia says, "I will try to keep things clear and simple." So she's done some more edits.

And she now says, "My evidence suggested that drinking plenty of fluids helps children to concentrate and stay focused at school." And that's so much more easier to understand and it will reach so many more people as well, because this is something that a lot of people will be able to understand, whereas in her first draught, you may have had to get a dictionary out in order to be able to work out what she was saying.

And most people are not going to do that and so that communication of her findings would have not been easily reached by lots of people.

Lots of people would've just ignored that advice completely.

Now, based on the feedback from her friends, Sophia has created some success criteria for her presentation.

She says it should be clear and easy to understand.

It should be based on the evidence that you found.

It should be true, and that's so important, it needs to be factual and not opinion based.

It should give suggestions, but not insult anyone who make different choices.

And do you think it needs anything else in here? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fantastic, well done.

So I think Sophia's success criteria is fantastic and a nice easy way to develop communication.

So let's do a quick check-in of your learning.

Why should information intended to help people make healthy choices be communicated in a clear and accessible way? Is it because A, we want as many people as possible to understand it, B, because we want very few people to understand it, or C, because we want to show how hard we've worked? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fantastic, well done, the answer is A.

Now here is task B.

It says, "Create a presentation to inform people about healthy lifestyles.

You can draw on findings from your own research or use the second resources Sophia found.

Your presentation could be in a written form, such as a leaflet or poster, or it could be verbal, such as a video clip or podcast." So I'd like you to pause the video here and have a go at doing this activity.

Off you go.

Wonderful, well done.

So Sophia says, "I made a leaflet with information about how much we should drink each day and how different kinds of drinks affect our bodies." Lucas says, "I created a video clip explaining what I had found out and making some suggestions for a healthy lifestyle." And Jacob asks, "How did you present your information?" Was it the same Sophia and Lucas or did you choose to do something differently? Because there's so many ways that we can communicate our findings.

So now we are onto the summary of our learning today.

So scientists collect evidence from research that helps us to make informed choices about healthy lifestyles.

It's important to examine information from a range of reliable sources when we want to find out more about something.

Findings from research can be presented in a range of different forms, but should always be communicated in a clear and accessible way.

Now, you have worked so hard today.

I am so proud of you, and you've thought really carefully about communicating your findings with as many people as possible and using Sophia's success criteria to help you.

Well done.
