About This Lesson

Through these lessons, students will understand the ways alcohol affects a growing body and study organ systems to learn the keys to a healthy body. 

This lesson can be: 

  • Taught over 5 days to follow a unit on the major organs of the body or be done in conjunction with a study of the body. Ideally, students will have basic knowledge of organs and the culminating project at the end of these lessons can serve as a way to wrap up a larger unit. 
  • Modified to allow for independent study, pairs, or collaborative group work. Depending on the number of students in the class, time, and interest levels, students can jigsaw to study and contribute to a larger classroom book or project about an organ or system or focus on the whole body.
  • Taught without digital devices. Students can create a picture book as a class or in smaller groups.
