Discovering the Science of Alcohol is a rich blend of sound science, real-life scenarios and interactive technology – presented together in a unit of study that will appeal to high school students' natural curiosity about alcohol. It encourages meaningful scientific exploration and demonstrates how and why alcohol can have a devastating effect on teenagers’ lives by teaching facts, rather than preaching "don'ts."
National Science Standards
Discovering the Science of Alcohol is designed to complement and extend the core high school science or biology curriculum. The inquiry-based activities include clear content objectives that are aligned with the National Science Education Standards.
