How Mother Bear Taught the Children about
Lead
A
lead-safety curriculum for Native American
children in grades 3-5
How
Mother Bear Taught the Children about Lead teaches Native American
children to identify the dangers associated with lead. It explains
that lead is a poisonous substance that can make children sick.
This curriculum helps children to recognize the sources of lead
dangers in their environments, especially the most common sources:
the dust and flakes from old, lead-based paint. It also notes other
sources of lead: fishing sinkers, shotgun pellets, water from old
lead pipes, and soil contaminated by leaded gasoline. Finally, the
curriculum teaches children simple ways they can protect themselves
and their younger siblings from lead dangers.
The curriculum uses themes and images that are culturally relevant
for Native American children in grades 3-4 across North America.
It has been designed for use by classroom teachers in conjunction
with other aspects of the curriculum, such as language arts and
science activities. A teacher’s guide provides additional
information about lead poisoning, as well as information for parents
and guardians.
