Click Here for a Video Overview of Curriculum

Maternal drinking is the leading known cause of congenital mental disability. This curriculum was developed with funding from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and is designed to raise awareness about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and promote prevention of alcohol-induced birth defects.

The core of the lesson for health and parenting is a short film featuring an age appropriate drama that weaves a little humor into teaching about the serious realities of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. The film is available as a stand alone DVD product.

The science program is web or DVD deliverable and uses a multimedia approach where students learn about normal and alcohol-altered development in fish and humans. Students also analyze micrographic documentation of results from a real experiment exploring effects of alcohol on fish brain development. Key concepts of the scientific method and data interpretation are addressed.
