The Stations is a fun, interactive tobacco use and substance abuse prevention program developed by Public Health for Grades 4, 5. It can be used as a review for grade 6. It deals
primarily with smoking and drinking. The Stations incorporates three key aspects of prevention: knowledge, attitudes and skills development. The program aims to: raise students awareness of the effects of smoking and drinking assist students in building skills to resist pressures related to smoking and drinking support curriculum by building reading, writing, math and decision-making skills complement the new Grade 4, 5 & 6 curriculum under The Substance Use and Abuse Expectations provide a dynamic, creative learning environment through games, stores, puzzles and artwork What does The Stations program cover? Station 1 The health effects of smoking and drinking 2 The effects of smoking and drinking on others 3 The social effects and costs of smoking 4 AdvertisingWhats the real picture? 5 Feeling the pressure to smoke or drink 6 Learning to resist the pressure How does The Stations program work? 1) Students rotate through a series of six learning Stations. Each station focuses on a different aspect of tobacco and alcohol use. 2) You will need 2 to 3 sessions to run the program. Try to plan the sessions so that they run on consecutive days or every other day. (A shorter time between sessions makes it easier for students to follow the
program). 3) A suggestion for running the stations Activity is to the following:
Session one - Stations 1 to 3 the focus is knowledge acquisition
Session two - Stations 4 to 6 the focus is skills development built on knowledge learned in session one.
Session three - May be needed if you feel the students require more time to complete the activities or to
discuss their learning from the program. 4) Prepare the program materials for your students. All Stations materials can be copied with recognition of the source. You will need : a) a class set of each of the activity sheets (there are 1 to 3 sheets per Station)
b) two copies of each Stations instruction sheet
c) a copy of the Stations clue sheet page 33 The Stations Revised January 2001 Part 1 - Page 3 Toronto Health Connections 416-338-7600 You will also need the following supplies for each group Station instruction sheet Copies of the following activity sheets Other supplies Station 1 ( pages 5-14 ) plus ( Appendix A page 34 ) ( page 33 ) - The two Tobacco and Alcohol Loop game sheets to cut into cards - The Tobacco Word Search - The Alcohol and Other Drug Word Search - The Teachers Answer Key for the game -Stations Clue sheet Scissors Pencils Station 2 ( pages 15-19) - What is Second Hand Smoke? - What is Impaired Driving? - A copy of the 2 stories : - Mom Clears the Air - Drinking and Driving Dont Mix.

This is in
order to keep the work groups small. 6) Place the appropriate Station instruction sheet and a set of activity sheets at each Station. (Remember that you
will have two of each Station). 7) Divide students into 6 groups and introduce the program (see next section). The Stations Revised January 2001 Part 1 - Page 4 Toronto Health Connections 416-338-7600 8) Session 1 - Students have 15 minutes at each Station. Two groups of students will start with Station 1, two
with Station 2 and the last two with Station 3. 9) You can either have the students rotate to a new Station or you can simply rotate the materials. Note: You
may find that the latter allows students to spend more time on their activities. By the end of the session, each
group of students will have gone through Stations 1 to 3. 10) Session 2 Repeat steps #4 to #9 with Stations 4 to 6. 11) At the end of session 2, work with the class to put together the clues to a secret message. They will find the
clues at the bottom right corner of each station instruction sheet. Complete the Stations clue sheet page 32. 12) Follow-up the session with a brief discussion on The Stations. 13) See Appendix B ( page 34) in this guide for other follow-up activities. How do I introduce the Stations to my students? Assign each of your students the role of a tobacco and alcohol detective who goes from Station to Station to uncover
the facts about smoking and drinking. Through games, puzzles, stories, fact sheets and a set of clues, students discover
important messages about tobacco and alcohol use. Heres a sample introduction for students: Welcome to The Stations. Today, each of you is going to be a Tobacco and Alcohol Detective. You will travel from Station to Station, uncover facts about smoking and drinking and test your skills. Dont forget to
pick up clues along the way. Arrange the clues to find the secret answer to the question: What do I say if someone offers me a cigarette or beer? Students are given a clue sheet to write down the clues as they travel to each Station. At the end of the program they
are asked to rearrange the clues to decipher the message Best For Me, Drug-Free! The Stations Revised January 2001 Part 1 - Page 5 Toronto Health Connections 416-338-7600 Station 1 1. Play the Tobacco and Alcohol Loop

Tobacco and Alcohol Game The Stations Revised January 2001 Part 1 - Page 7 Toronto Health Connections 416-338-7600 #1 Out of 100 Canadians, how many do not
Smoke? FALSE. Nicotine, not tar is the addictive
drug in tobacco. This means a smokers
body gets hooked on nicotine. This
makes it hard to quit smoking. What happens to your body after just one
puff on a cigarette? About 70. Most people are non-smokers! What is tar? Heart speeds up, blood pressure increases,
breathe faster, tar is stored in the lungs, and
skin temperature drops. Smokers are more likely to have heart
disease than non-smokers. TRUE or
FALSE? A sticky brown substance found in the lungs
of smokers. Why do smokers develop a morning
cough? TRUE: Nicotine makes the heart beat faster
and narrows the blood vessels. Carbon
Monoxide makes the heart work harder to
carry oxygen to the tissues. These lead to
smokers having more heart attacks and
stroke than non-smokers. Most professional athletes smoke.
TRUE or FALSE? Because of the tar build up in their lungs.
