Paracelsus Goes to School
March 27, 2007
In concert with the SOT Annual Meeting, SOT's Committee on K-12
Education will sponsor two workshops that introduce toxicology concepts
to middle and high school teachers from Charlotte, NC and surrounding areas. In the
workshop for high school teachers, participants will conduct bioassay
experiments to detect toxicants and then use their experimental data to
support proposals for hypothetical clean-water legislation in NC. A
highlight of the workshop will be the involvement of UNC-Chapel Hill's
traveling science buses. In the workshop for middle school teachers,
participants will learn about the relationship between human health and
the environment and investigate the roles that individuals, communities
and governments play in decisions that affect human health. Activities
will focus on asthma and lead poisoning.

The SOT K-12 Committee is excited to add a workshop for middle school students
to the K-12 outreach activities this year with local school. Please see
