ToxRAP: What is Wrong with the Johnson Family?(http://www.toxrap.org/36_modulePg.html)
The goal of the SUC2ES2 (Students Understanding Critical Connections between the Environment, Society and Self) is to empower students in the fifth grade to improve their science knowledge, skills and attitudes so that they can make informed decisions about the environment and their health. Students become health hazard investigators and through a series of hands-on, inquiry-based, authentic activities, investigate effects of an indoor pollutant on human health. Over the course of 10 weeks, students learn how to apply environmental health sciences using the ToxRAPTM (Toxicology, Risk Assessment and Pollution) Map and Framework to real world problems using data, experiments, stories, puzzles, games, simulations, case studies and math activities.
Keywords: Toxicology, risk assessment, risk management, exposure assessment, inquiry-base, applied science, integrated, authentic, environmental health, carbon monoxide, indoor air quality

ToxRAP: The Case of the Green Feathers(http://www.toxrap.org/k3_modulePg.html)
The goal of the SUC2ES2 (Students Understanding Critical Connections between the Environment, Society and Self) is to empower students in the second grade to improve their science knowledge, skills and attitudes so that they can make informed decisions about the environment and their health. Students become health hazard detectives and through a series of hands-on, inquiry-based, authentic activities, investigate effects of pollen on human health. Over the course of 10 weeks, students learn how to apply environmental health sciences using the ToxRAPTM (Toxicology, Risk Assessment and Pollution) Map and Framework to real world problems using data, experiments, stories, poems, books, puzzles, games, simulations, case studies and math activities.

ToxRAP: Mystery Illness Strikes the Sanchez Household(http://www.toxrap.org/69_modulePg.html)
The goal of the SUC2ES2 (Students Understanding Critical Connections between the Environment, Society and Self) is to empower students in the seventh grade to improve their science knowledge, skills and attitudes so that they can make informed decisions about the environment and their health. Students become health hazard scientists and through a series of hands-on, inquiry-based, authentic activities, investigate effects of an indoor pollutant on human health. Over the course of 10 weeks, students learn how to apply environmental health sciences using the ToxRAPTM (Toxicology, Risk Assessment and Pollution) Map and Framework to real world problems using data, experiments, puzzles, games, simulations, case studies and math activities.
