Educational Guide on Lung Health for Elementary School StudentsEducation Guide Handouts Activity Sheets Use our new guide and activities to educate children about asthma and tobacco use. Now you can teach children about asthma and tobacco use with a new guide from the ACCP Network on Cultural Diversity in Medicine and Merck and Co. Inc. Aimed at health professionals and other adults working with children in grades 3 to 6, the Educational Guide on Lung Health for Elementary School Students features lessons, handouts, activities and resources. Lessons are designed for half-hour or hour-long sessions, depending on the activities used. They may 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 with asthma. The antitobacco unit not only shows students how the lungs work and the health effects of smoking but also teaches them ways to resist smoking. You'll also find suggested group activities, including role-playing, as well as written games, exercises and quizzes to drive your points home.
