ToxRAP™ (K-6 Module)  

Healthy Environment-Healthy Me (Grades K-6)
Students study the environment, examining how they affect it and how the environment affects them. Curricular activities help develop the knowledge and understanding students need to create safe and healthy environments at home, at school and througout their community.

**The K-3 lesson plans, vocaulary words, student worksheets and letters to parents/guardians are also available in Spanish.

ToxRAP™ (Toxicology, Risk Assessment and Pollution)
How do you know if the environment is causing health problems? In this innovative, three-part curricular series, students become health hazard detectives to cooperatively investigate environmental health hazards and their impact on human health. By applying an environmental health risk assessment framework, students learn how to state a health problem, investigate hazards and people who may be exposed and identify hazard control methods. A detective theme helps students to study air contaminants and learn the principles of toxicology and the process of risk assessment. Teaching techniques include illustrated stories, problem-based learning, games, graphing, hands-on experiments and case studies.

ToxRAP™ is an achievement award recipient from the National Environmental Education and Training Foundation (NEETF).


We also offer a ToxRAP™ 6 - 9 Module for Middle School.
