Okay, so I'm going into the ninth grade and I am trying to fill this paper out about which electives I want to take.. We have this OOBERLY ANNOYING things called Career Clusters. My career cluster is Human Services because I want to be a psychologist and I have to try to find electives that would help me out. I was given a book with all of the ninth grade electives...And I want to know--- What is Human Growth and Development? What is Health Science Technology 1?

  1. Human Growth and Development is a course on human growing, of how your body systems work and how they mature (think anatomy + puberty) Health Science Technology is about medicines, surgeries, and other scientific advancements in health (think treatments)
  2. Human Growth and Development is pretty much just health class...It is one of two health classes. The only difference between HGD and the other health class is that HGD has a section about sex ed. Health Science Tech is a program in which you learn about nursing and the medical feild. It focuses primarily on the anatomy of the human body. This is also a great class to take. (I am currently enrolled in that class.) If you want to go into the medical feild it would be a good idea to take this class, however it is usually not available until your junior year. If you don't like the idea of Health Science, you can also take Sports Medicine if it is available at your school. This course is more focused on injuries and how to treat them. However, when you take Health Science your second year, you will be able to be licensed for your CNA (certified nurse's assistant.) Hope this Helps! If you have anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask! LOL
