is designed to enhance students' comprehension of and interest in environmental health sciences. This program will improve student academic performance and life skills through the use of integrative curriculum units for children in Grades 2, 5 and 7.

Students learn about the relationship between human health and exposure to chemical and physical agents by using a risk assessment and risk management approach. The integrative units will teach health, language arts, math and science.

This project is in collaboration with the Woodbridge Township School District, the New Jersey State Department of Education, environmental health scientists, the Robert B. Davis Mathematics Education Institute and the Center for Program Evaluation and Measurement at the Rutgers University Graduate School of Education and the National Environmental Education and Training Foundation.

themes
Better prepare students to become responsible and
