"All substances are poisons: there is none which is not a
poison. The right dose differentiates a poison and a remedy." Paracelsus

Toxicology
Enrichment Materials
Author's
Note
Most
teachers are overwhelmed with the amount of content material they are
expected to cover in the course of the school year. However, they are
often looking for ways to help students address topical issues using outside
sources.
Toxicology Enrichment Materials are designed for high school biology,
chemistry and physiology teachers. The series contains fact sheets on
toxicology, introductory exercises to familiarize students with the study
of toxicology and student assignments addressing specific issues in toxicology.
The assignments are designed to enrich typical course curricula and give
students practice using information from both library and internet sources.
These materials are intended to enhance the content areas already being
covered by introducing topics of timely, dramatic or historical interest.
Some suggestions for using these materials include make-up or extra-credit
assignments, enrichment assignments, library assignments, substitute assignments
or regular class assignments. The materials are independent, so that they
can be used in any sequence. I hope you find them useful!
