Overview

This free resource from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention teaches students the effects of tobacco use on the body. In this lesson, students conduct an experiment that demonstrates what goes into a person’s lungs with each puff of a cigarette. Then, students will view an interactive Web animation that gives a 360-degree view of the organs in the human body and an explanation of how tobacco use affects each organ.

This alignment results from the ALEX Health/PE COS Resource Alignment Summit.
