The module materials and activities increased my capacity to provide a rich reflective participatory learning experience linking science to existing health and public policy issues.

Caryl E Waggett: ES 415: Environmental Health at Allegheny College The Lead in the Environment module was implemented in my advanced-level course in environmental health, which allows students to explore a variety of representative cases---heavy metal contamination, vector-borne diseases, the health effects of the built environment. The module provided an opportunity to conduct a deep exploration of lead in the environment and in humans, and how it gets there---but it also included an equally deep exploration of the challenges of managing risk for an individual family, community, or the country as a whole.
