in particular to the drugs elements in the Science National Curriculum.

with suggestions for adaptations for different groups of pupils.
Well-constructed worksheets accompany many lessons. Web-based
activities add to pupils’ interest. Additional ideas for
lessons and activities are also included on the website.content

determine pupils’ understanding and teach at an appropriate
level. Information about drugs and about the body is accurate
and up-to-date.
A broad view
Covers legal as well as illegal drugs. Alcohol,
tobacco, caffeine and volatile substances are covered, as well
as medicines.
While the focus is on drugs, drug-related issues such as decision-making,
risk assessment and refusal skills are presented in a broader
context.
