Substance Abuse Quiz is a Grade 9–12 Life Skills worksheet that checks students’ understanding of vaping, alcohol use, and drug abuse. The 10-question set includes eight multiple-choice questions and two open-ended prompts. Students identify vaping terminology, recognize that a battery heats vape liquid or oil, evaluate a claim about vaping and smoking cessation, identify a stated health risk, and name signs of vaping. They also connect substance abuse with a specific age range, warning signs, reasons teens may use substances, and the body systems associated with vaping-related pneumonia and long-term alcohol-related high blood pressure. The open-ended questions ask students to list three signs of vaping and two reasons teens may use drugs or alcohol, giving them an opportunity to recall information in their own words rather than only selecting answers. This free printable worksheet with an answer key works well for a health, prevention, or Life Skills lesson, review activity, or formative assessment. It is designed for older students who are learning to recognize substance-use risks and warning signs.

This Grade 9–12 Life Skills worksheet uses eight multiple-choice questions and two open-ended prompts to assess students’ understanding of vaping and substance abuse. Students identify vaping terms and components, evaluate a vaping claim, recognize a stated health risk and warning signs, connect risks to body systems, and recall signs of vaping and reasons teens may use substances.
Introduce the worksheet by reviewing the difference between vaping terms and the role of the battery in heating vape liquid or oil. After students complete the multiple-choice items, use the open-ended prompts to discuss observable signs of vaping and reasons teens may use drugs or alcohol, then ask students to explain why a drop in school performance can be a warning sign.
Students may confuse a vape’s battery with its charger or vaporizing system, and they may accept the false claim that vaping has been proven to help smokers quit. Watch for confusion between the lungs and heart when students match vaping-related pneumonia or long-term alcohol-related high blood pressure to a body part. In the open-ended items, check that students provide three distinct signs of vaping and two relevant reasons rather than repeating one idea.
The Substance Abuse Quiz is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, and it includes a complete answer key for all eight multiple-choice questions and guidance for reviewing the two open-ended responses. For printable submissions, scan student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to help grade the completed quiz.
