"I learned a lot about strong bones. It was interesting when we learned about calories. The most I learned about was the brain."
Katie, 2nd grade in Obesity & Diabetes Prevention Through Science Enrichment (Phase I/II)
“I was just searching for extra information that might be of some assistance for my upcoming biology exam. Fortunately, I came across this website. I must say that it has been a well explained and a thorough review of the brain and spinal cord.”
A student in Supporting Student and Teacher Inquiry in Bioscience
“I can see how my heart rate and blood pressure change when I eat sugar and chili.”

"In the exercise part of Program ENERGY, I got to jump over poles and all this cool stuff. The learning is also cool… I'm so lucky that I have Program ENERGY at my school"
Paul, 4th grade in Obesity & Diabetes Prevention Through Science Enrichment (Phase I/II)
"Program ENERGY really inspired me. Now, I'm going to be a pediatrician when I grow up."
Melissa, 4th grade in Obesity & Diabetes Prevention Through Science Enrichment (Phase I/II)
"I feel Program ENERGY is important because it's a good program for children and it inspires you to be active and get out there and play more instead of watching TV all day."

“Dear Grandma,
Did you know that you could prevent getting diabetes by eating healthy food and getting exercise and keeping a healthy weight! Oh don’t eat that many French fries any more that have too much fat in them. Oh and you should go on a diet and eat at the “just right” amount.”
Gracie, 2nd grade, letter to family in Obesity & Diabetes Prevention Through Science Enrichment (Phase I/II)
“Dear Carlits,
I learned that fat is energy and health for us. I learned how to prevent diabetes. There are three ways to prevent diabetes 1 is to eat healthy, 2 is to keep athletic and 3 is to keep a healthy weight. Calories are good in just the right way.”
Cameron, 2nd grade, letter to friend in Obesity & Diabetes Prevention Through Science Enrichment (Phase I/II)

Today I learned about diabetes. Fat can cause diabetes. Fat can also make you unhealthy, so that’s why you need to eat right”
