No Nukes! Art-Based Lesson Plan
Let's learn about the No Nukes movement!
First, read the chapter "N is for No Nukes!" in the textbook Rad American History A-Z by Kate Schatz and Miriam Klein Stahl (you will need to purchase or borrow this textbook for this lesson). Then, expand on the reading with this creative and engaging lesson plan, featuring video resources, a discussion prompt, fun print-and-go creative activities, worksheets, and more. This lesson set was designed to be accessible for all ages of learners and includes a wide range of resources so you can tailor the lesson to the needs of your students.
Included in this lesson
A recommended selection from Rad American History A-Z by Kate Schatz and Miriam Klein Stahl
Recommended video resources
A thought-provoking discussion prompt
Fallout Shelters Activity- You're invited to design a fallout shelter. Use the print-and-go activity page provided to identify what needs your shelter will have to meet, than draw a design that addresses those needs.
Operation Tooth Activity- Dr. Reiss and her team collected more than 350,000 baby teeth from children around St. Louis and examined them to see if there was scientific evidence that these kids had been exposed to radioactive fallout. She came up with an entirely new use for teeth! You're invited to do the same- transform the tooth on the print-and-go activity page into something totally new. Make it a table for mice (laid out with an appealing picnic!), a creepy walrus mask for Halloween, or whatever you can think of!
Comprehension and Critical Thinking worksheet featuring: Vocabulary Word Match, Review Questions (short answer), Critical Thinking Question (long answer), and Ideas for Further Research
Comprehension and Critical Thinking answer sheet
Spotlight on scientist and activist Dr. Louise Reiss with original coloring page featuring a biography and quotation plus a recommended resource to learn more about her work
