Around 500,000 children under the age of six suffer from elevated levels of lead in their blood in the United States. Scholars apply their knowledge about lead to a fun game. As they correctly answer questions, they move their pieces representing the amount of lead in their bodies. The first one to have a lead-free body wins the game!
