Instructional Strategies: KWL & Demonstrations/Experiments

This instructional strategy introduces the KWL (Know, Wonder, Learn) framework alongside hands-on demonstrations to teach students about the short-term and long-term risks of tobacco use, as well as the benefits of being tobacco-free. The KWL activity serves as a dynamic bell ringer and wrap-up, allowing students to brainstorm their existing knowledge and curiosities about tobacco. Demonstrations provide engaging, interactive ways to visualize health concepts. This lesson caters to all educational levels and emphasizes student involvement while addressing the harmful effects of tobacco.
