Tobacco Prevention Health Lesson Plan By Kristin Maxfield

Tobacco Prevention Health Lesson Plan By Kristin Maxfield & Kassie Mcaninch Ivy Tech Community College

INTASC Standard #8 Instructional Strategies: The teacher understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies to encourage learners to develop deep understanding of content areas and their connections, and to build skills to apply knowledge in meaningful ways. Description: This assignment allows the future educator to plan for lesson development and instruction. It serves as a guideline for future use in the educators classroom. Rational: Through completion of this assignment I was able to further my understanding of lesson plan development. I was also able to gain insight on various aspects of lesson planning that I will be able to utilize in my classroom.

Name of Lesson: Effect of Tar on Oxygen Absorption Target Grade Level: 7 th-8 th grades Duration of Activity: 25 -30 minutes

Standards National Health Education Standard: #1 Students will comprehend concepts related to health promotion and disease prevention to enhance health. Indiana Health Education Academic Standard: #1 Students will comprehend concepts related to health promotion and disease prevention to enhance health. 7. 1. 8. Predict the risk of injury or illness if engaging in unhealthy behaviors. 8. 1. 8. Examine the likelihood of injury or illness if engaging in unhealthy behaviors.

Objective Students comprehend effects of harmful ingredients in tobacco on the body through examination of simulation experiment.

Materials • Straws • Coffee filters • Water • Glass containers • Funnel • Molasses

Preparation • Gather materials • Perform test exercise of simulation experiment • Prepare detailed instructions • Organize materials to divide into groups • Prepare formative assessment

Introductory Activity 1. Pass out straws 2. Begin group activity (30 seconds jogging in place) 3. Instruct students to pay attention to breathing 4. Repeat step 2 (30 seconds more jogging in place) 5. Instruct students to breath through straw (simulates lung function at reduced rate)

Lesson Activity 1. Instruct students to set up experiment – Place 1 coffee filter in each of 2 funnels – Place funnels atop glass containers – Pour a coating of molasses around the coffee filter in one funnel 2. Instruct students to begin conducting experiment – Pour water into funnels atop both glass containers – Notice how the molasses effects the flow of water through the funnel 3. Discuss how molasses is representative of tar and water representative of oxygen, and how the molasses effects the flow of water through the funnel

Closing Activity 1. Discuss results of simulation experiment 2. Predict how long term exposure to tar in tobacco might effect the body

Assessment Students will demonstrate comprehension of material through completion of a lab report consisting of two paragraphs that provide an analysis of the experiment and a conclusion that summarizes the results of the experiment.

Rubric Points Analysis Conclusion 10 7 4 0 The relationship between the variables is discussed and trends/patterns logically analyzed. Predictions are made about what might happen if part of the lab were changed or how the experimental design could be changed. The relationship between the variables is discussed and trends/patterns logically analyzed. The relationship between the variables is discussed but no patterns, trends or predictions are made based on the data. The relationship between the variables is not discussed. Conclusion includes whether the findings supported the hypothesis, possible sources of error, and what was learned from the experiment. Conclusion includes whether the findings supported the hypothesis and what was learned from the experiment. Conclusion includes what was learned from the experiment. No conclusion was included in the report OR shows little effort and reflection.

Accommodations • Increase difficulty by asking students to draw own conclusions instead of leading discussion of outcome. • Decrease difficulty by leading demonstration and having students observe instead of participate in individual group experimentation.

Safety • Potential allergies to materials – Make students aware of materials that will be used. • Potential for materials (glass) to break if mishandled – Discuss proper handling of materials – If glass is broken, instruct students move away from area of incident – Have first aid kit on hand
