This dissertation contains two secondary quantitative data analyses studies. In the first, implementation of the WannaBee Healthy? Be Smart! Be Active! Be a Leader! health science curriculum was examined to assess the amount of activities within each curriculum domain (i.e., books, creative expressions, language/literacy, math, science) and the number of activities within each theme (i.e., nutrition, physical activity, sleep) utilized by participating teachers. Prior to implementation, teachers (N = 68; M age = 35.5) attended a one-hour training where they were instructed to implement the curriculum over the course of a month and record lessons implemented on a usage checklist. An overall total number of activities and a total number of activities within each curriculum domain (e.g., language/literacy) and theme (e.g., nutrition) was calculated using a frequency analysis. Results show that more than 20% of reporting teachers (n = 10; 21.8%) implemented all or almost all (i.e., 49 or 50 lessons) of the curriculum's 50 activities. Children had more exposure to the book domain and the theme of nutrition, with less engagement in the domain of math and sleep-themed lessons. The second study examined the association between the dosage of the WannaBee Healthy? curriculum implementation within each classroom and child health knowledge outcomes. Explicitly, is the dosage and type of content implementation directly associated with student's gain in knowledge and the ability to identify the following (1) food from the five food groups, (2) a healthy plate, (3) food origins, (4) activities that increase heart rate, and (5) behaviors needed to keep our body healthy. Researchers utilized the information from the usage checklist to determine dosage and content implementation of lessons. Pre- and post-assessments were randomly conducted on 252 pre-kindergarten (17.9%) and kindergarten (82.1%) students (M age = 5.02). Pearson correlations identified strong, positive correlations regarding implementation across the curriculum and within the domains and themes. A series of One-way ANOVAs identified significant outcomes of at least one child assessment and in both health themes (i.e., nutrition, physical activity). However, overall findings indicate that curriculum dosage alone was not related to changes in child health knowledge.
