Developed for teachers, school nurses, health professionals, and other adults working with children in grades 3 through 6, the Educational Guide on Lung Health for Elementary School Students provides lessons, handouts, activities, and resources to educate children about asthma and tobacco prevention.
Lessons are designed for half-hour or hour-long sessions, depending on the activities used. They can easily be incorporated into health, science or social science classes, or used in after-school activities.
The asthma lessons help students develop a basic understanding of the lungs and asthma and how they can support classmates who have asthma. The tobacco prevention units show students the effects of tobacco use on lungs and teach them ways to resist smoking.
The Educational Guide is available in English and Spanish.
You will also find suggested group activities, including role-playing, written games, exercises and quizzes, to drive your points home.
