This learning resource explores the connection between human needs and health and wellness. It begins with an essential question regarding what individuals need to maintain their health. Key academic vocabulary is introduced, including definitions of health, wellness, human needs, as well as physical, emotional, and social needs. The document highlights the significance of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, illustrating how unmet needs can lead to stress and poor health. It categorizes human needs into physical, emotional, and social, and provides a case study that demonstrates the interconnections among these categories. Engaging activities, such as a group sort for categorizing scenarios and prompts for collaboration and discussion, encourage deeper understanding. A critical writing task invites reflection on the impact of missing needs on overall wellness using the Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER) framework.
