Resources from Boots Useful for Teaching about the Effects of Smoking on the Body
Boots provide resources for teaching pupils about the dangers of smoking. This involves looking at the upper respiratory system and lower respiratory system in order to help pupils develop a deeper understanding of the issues associated with tobacco use.
There are teacher notes that can be used to support teaching as well as activities and resource sheets. The activities encourage children to think carefully about the biological aspects of the body and how chemicals in tobacco products impact on them adversely. There is an opportunity for pupils to consider the cellular damage caused by smoking.
Teachers will find activity sheets requiring the respiratory system to be labelled in order to develop their understanding of the human body before considering the effects of smoking in more detail. These can be downloaded and save time in producing worksheets.
There are also versions of the material that can be downloaded and used offline, which is useful if internet is not available.
