Science on the Move—Focus on Cancer
- Teachers and students participating in RUYES will develop cancer relevant modules for outreach to middle and high schools across New Jersey.
- Outreach events will be presented together with the Rutgers Science Explorer program at the Office of STEM Education.
|
Topic: |
Preventing Lung Cancer |
|
Summary: |
To engage and educate middle school students in their communities, high school science teachers, students and undergraduate participants of the Rutgers Youth Explore Science Program at the Cancer Institute of New Jersey created interactive 90 minute session focusing on prevention of lung cancer. During the session middle school students have the opportunity to explore the anatomy of health lungs, understand health risks of smoking and vaping, address risk reduction, and increase cancer screening in their communities. These activities are fully funded and are available at no cost to your school. |
|
Scheduling Options: |
Option 1: Virtually during your regularly scheduled classes to conduct the lessons (hands on materials will be sent to your school for distribution)
Option 2: during an afterschool “science” night or science club we can present the sessions virtually and send packets home for the students to work on for the hands-on activities Option 3: If you school permits we can do both of these options in person |
Middle and high schools interested in visiting Rutgers for a campus visit, booking a mobile Rutgers Science Explorer bus to visit the school, and/or scheduling a Back to School Night Outreach Event should send an email to RUYES@cinj.rutgers.edu.
To get information about scheduling a visit to your district; visit the Rutgers Science Explorer Bus.
Back to School Night
- This outreach event will also be hosted by middle and high schools across New Jersey.
- Back to School Night will incorporate research talks by RUYES participants and activities pertaining to cancer screening and prevention strategies.
