Sheffield NHS Library Resources

The Sheffield NHS Library has several resources available to lend for an initial three week period which can be renewed if other bookings permit. The following resources are currently available:

Puberty and Sexuality for Children and Young People with a Learning Disability (A supporting document for National Curriculum objectives): This is an award winning teaching pack that has been developed for learning disabled children and young people between the ages of 9-18 years old.
Baby Tar: this is a baby bottle filled with smoker's tar and cigarettes and butts. It illustrates how smoking when pregnant or smoking around babies and children is like making them drink or breathe the tar. This could help with a discussion or to show how tar in second-hand cigarette smoke can harm children and babies (Cat No 16303)
Tar in the Jar: the tar in a jar demonstrates the amount of tar in tobacco smoke and helps to explain to smokers what causes cancer, bronchitis and emphysema. The jar shows that an average 15 to 20 a day smoker takes about half a litre of brown, sticky tar into their lungs every year (Cat No 16302)
Tobacco Ball: inflatable ball with questions relating to the dangers of smoking and smokeless tobacco. Answer sheet and play instructions included. Key stages 2, 3 and 4 (Cat No 16304)
Kick it - Junk Food: this DVD focuses on the disadvantages of eating junk food. It covers topics such as what 'junk food' means, why is it bad for our bodies, healthier options, examples of healthier meals and a fun game show 'fruit machine'. Key stages 2, 3 (Cat No 16305)
