food, helpful drugs (medicines), and harmful drugsOur primary focus is for students to be introduced to three categories of things that may be put in the body. We will talk about the differences between food, helpful drugs, and harmful drugs and will set rules for each category. We will also be discussing poisons, though we don't count this as a category of things that ever go into human bodies.

food, helpful drugs, or harmful drugs - sorting activity
In the classroom students participated in a sorting activity using toy items or empty containers to identify which category items should be placed into. Below is an additional activity (the handout and the cut-out squares below) that you could print out to practice at home! Safe adults, you may also want to think of additional items that are prevalent in your household that you could add or draw in so that you can start a discussion or clarify where you would place those items!
