Homework Ideas for Teens

These teen driver safety project ideas will encourage the teens you work with to consider teen driver safety as a research topic. By sharing what they learn with their friends, teammates, and teachers, they'll raise awareness of this important public health issue.

Whether as a written paper for a class or a face-to-face debate, there are lots of ways teens can get involved and spread the word as part of their learning experience. Here are six projects to share with teens:

• What are Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) laws and how have they reduced teen driver deaths?
• What factors put teen drivers at risk? 
• What is the best type of car for new teen drivers? 
• How can teen drivers set car rules for passengers and take control of their car? 
• What are the minimum drinking age laws in the U.S. and how have they evolved?
• How can teens get behind school-based campaigns?
