Substance Use, Addictions, and Related Behaviours Workbook (Grade 3 Health)

This workbook covers the Substance Use, Addictions, and Related Behaviours unit in the Grade 3 Ontario Health Curriculum (2019).

In this workbook, students will learn about substance use, both legal and illegal, through engaging activities such as substance vocabulary matching, exploring the effects of nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, and sugar. They’ll delve into understanding dependencies, exploring moderation versus dependencies, and the impacts of these habits on health.

With worksheets on making healthy choices, decision-making skills, and even a creative exercise like crafting a dependency poster or writing a letter to their future selves, this workbook provides a comprehensive guide to substance education and healthy living.

There is a variety of readings, short answer questions, cut-and-paste activities, and drawing prompts included to create a varied workbook suitable for many learning styles.
