REVIEW:
This is a ready to use module for middle school science and health
teachers. It covers broad general science topics such as the chemical
composition of all matter, chemicals in the environment, human health
and medicine, individual variation/susceptibility, risk assessment
and management, and scientific methods. The module contains six
standards-based lessons that focus on the science of toxicology
and introduce students to the ways scientists learn about and measure
how chemicals can both help and harm human health. In addition to
the introduction and how to implement the module, the Teacher’s
Guide includes the lesson plans with instructions for use, handouts
and transparencies, references and resources and a library of all
the materials in .pdf format for downloading and printing. Additionally,
there are Web-based student activities to complement each lesson
such as an interactive periodic table, a dose response experiment
and much more. |
