To Smoke or Not to Smoke

A Fifth and Sixth Grade Science WebQuest that could save your life!

This is the challenge:
 Your friend stole a pack of cigarettes from his mom and wants you to smoke one with him.  At first, you say no way!!  But, he keeps on pressuring you saying,  that he has seen a lot of the older kids doing it, and they are really cool.  You wonder why so many adults smoke yet tell kids not to.  Is there any truth to what you here about the dangers of smoking?  Or is this just another fun thing your parents want to keep you from doing?   Before you make a decision, you must get the facts about smoking!

What you must do:
Once you have done your research you must then develop a brochure which either supports or deters smoking.  Your brochure must illustrate at least three organs and the ways cigarette smoking impacts the way they function.



Here are a pack of resources to help you:
