Grades 4 and 5
Drug Defense, an e-learning program for students in 4th and 5th grades, has been revised and updated. This fun, interactive game-based program includes an age-appropriate introduction to commonly used drugs, including tobacco, alcohol, inhalants, prescription and over-the-counter medication. Students will learn the effects of each of these drugs on their bodies. They also will get tips on how to resist peer pressure to try drugs, ideas on ways to form connections with adults, self-esteem building skills and ways to become involved in positive activities. The comprehensive teacher's guide offers additional classroom activities that can be used in combination with the e-learning program.
Students who participate in Drug Defense will learn:
- The concept of a healthy cell.
- What drugs do to the body and how they impact healthy cells.
- The different types of drugs including alcohol, tobacco, over-the-counter, prescription, Schedule 1 drugs and steroids.
- How to make healthy choices.
- How to stay involved in activities that build confidence and friendships.
- How to develop relationships with parents and other adults who can help them stay substance-free.
