Lead and Children: Toxic Exposure! (Student view)
This student learning activity is designed to introduce middle school students to the important and prevalent public health issue of lead poisoning through integration of an environmental health science issue with reading and writing. Students access two websites to read, synthesize, summarize, and collaboratively write Brief Constructed Responses (BCRs) to a "research guide" concerning lead poisoning: what it is, why exposure to lead is a health risk, and how lead exposure can be reduced or prevented.
