The Science Behind Smoking (Module 5)
Relationship to the National Science Education Standards
This mission aligns with two standards identified in the NSES: science as inquiry and science in personal and social perspectives. The chart below identifies how the mission aligns with each of these standards.
SCIENCE AS INQUIRY |
Levels K4 |
How Mission Is Aligned |
Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry |
Students go through a series of steps in the process of scientific inquiry: developing a hypothesis, completing an experiment to test their hypothesis, and drawing conclusions. |
SCIENCE IN PERSONAL AND SOCIAL PERSPECTIVES |
Levels K4 |
How Mission Is Aligned |
Personal health |
Students observe the unhealthy residue that tobacco leaves. They discuss how this residue is left in the lungs and other parts of the respiratory system and the impact it has on the health of smokers. In the future, students can refer back to this information to make wise decisions about the personal habits that affect their health. |
