- Understanding Alcohol: Investigations
into Biology and Behavior—developed with the National Institute
on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)—is a creative, inquiry-based
instruction program designed to promote active learning and stimulate
student interest in medical topics. This curriculum supplement aims
to help students develop the following major goals associated with
scientific literacy:
- to experience the process of scientific inquiry and develop an enhanced understanding of the nature and methods of science; and
- to appreciate the role of science in society and the relationship between basic science and human health.
- The unit consists of lesson plans, which are accessed through the Teacher’s Guide section of the Web site, and the multimedia student activities, which are accessed through the Student Activities page. The Web-based activities for students are only one part of the curriculum unit. The Lesson Plans provide the framework for both the hands-on classroom activities and the Web-based multimedia activities that make up this curriculum supplement. Together, the classroom and multimedia activities enable students to gain a deeper understanding of the science behind this important topic, and of how it relates to human health.
