 Effects of Smoking Lab –
students will breath through a
straw and then a coffee stirrer to
note the difference of how much
harder it is to breathe. This is to
demonstrate chronic lung
disease.
 Comparing Food Labels –
students will analyze food labels
to learn how to make the better
choices.
Students will calculate the
number of calories per food
items they would eat per day
and see if they are eating too
many based on what they
should be eating daily.
