Agenda of the Workshop
(requires )

The Case of the Green Feathers (Grades K-3)
Students use the ToxRAP Framework and Map to explain how natural air contaminants, such as pollen, can cause allergic and asthmatic reactions. Students read an illustrated oversized children's book that tells the story of Chick Chock, a baby chick who awakens from a nap sneezing and covered with green dust.

What is Wrong with the Johnson Family? (Grades 3-6)
Students become environmental health scientists and use the ToxRAP Framework and Map to conduct an investigation into the Johnson family's unexplained health problems. Activities and games help students to solve the mystery -- carbon monoxide is leaking from a furnace that has a blocked chimney.

Mystery Illness Strikes the Sanchez Household (Grades 6-9)
Students assume the role of environmental health scientists to help the Sanchez family discover the cause of their health problems. A simulated health hazard investigation following the ToxRAP Framework and Map guides students to an explanation -- lead-based paint dust was released during renovation work.
