Environmental Health Lesson Plans
For middle and high school students, environmental health issues spark students' interest in the environment, health, and their communities. By teaching about environmental health, we bring relevant materials into the classroom that answer the age old question: How is this going to matter in my life? Using topics ripped from the headlines--like E.coli and food safety issues--you can engage students in studying issues with local, regional, and global impacts.
