Two lessons focus on alcohol's effects on the human body and encourage participants to make responsible choices. First, scholars identify five adults they can turn to for guidance and craft a construction paper hand that lists the helpers' names. Second, learners examine a picture of the human body, discuss the highlighted systems, and label parts.
