Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Science, Tobacco & You, too is a multidisciplinary currculum resource which engages students in developing skills in science, language arts, mathematics, and other subjects. It provides multi-sensory experiences, through which students explore the harmful effects of tobacco on their bodies, strategies for handling peer pressure to use tobacco products, the impact of tobacco use on their lives and local society, and how they can use a scientific perspective to make decisions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

Reduce tobacco use in FL youth & enhance teaching and learning, through resources provided to FL middle schools: 900 teachers trained and distribution to 450 students-- directly impacting over 368,000 students.  At a cost of less than $9.30 per FL student initially reached, with no additional reoccurring costs so at the end of three years the cost equates to $3.10 per student.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Reduced tobacco use in Florida's youth, enhanced education in Florida middle schools.
