Encourage the spread of knowledge in your class with this cross-curricular epidemic simulation. Pulling together science, social studies, and math, this lesson engages students in modeling the spread of infectious...

Empower your pupils to be germ stoppers! The heart of these lessons lies in stopping the spread of germs and keeping clean hands in order to prevent cases like a respiratory infection. It includes a game to simulate how germs can...

Give your youngsters a comprehensive introduction to the importance of washing hands and preventing the spread of germs in three activities, which include identifying what germs are, discovering where germs live, and practicing a...

Here is a different approach: emerging epidemiologists first go home to interview family on the topic of infectious disease. Then they come to class and view a video and PowerPoint that explore how climate change may increase the...

The central video for this lesson is not available through the included resource link. However, the activity that simulates the passing of a virus through a population is impacting and the other resource links are invaluable. Use this...

Learners demonstrate safe ways to handle bacteria, prepare agar plates, and grow bacterial cultures. They identify different kinds of bacterial colonies, and devise a controlled experiment.

Reasearch the transmission of tuberculosis and design a communication product to help youth understand the risks of the disease, how it is tested for, and the benefits of proper treatment. This project incorporates language arts, math,...

Students examine proposals to combat AIDS, VRSA, and measles and recommend one that they could support. They investigate how people can have very different feelings about such proposals.

Students explore how our bodies fight infection. Using a microscope, they observe red blood cells, white blood cells and different bacteria under a microscope.

Students examine the role of the immune system in the human body. They conduct a hand-washing experiment, answer questions while viewing videos, discuss key vocabulary, draw and label illustrations, and observe demonstrations and record...

Students recognize disease vectors (pathways) and risk factors for infectious diseases.

Students use the European Union's struggle with Mad Cow Disease as a starting point to study the spread of infectious diseases across geographical boundaries.

Students research about the different symptoms of tuberculosis. In this biology lesson, students perform a case study on this infectious disease using WHO's database. They explore current treatment for TB.

Students compare and contrast the spread of infectious diseases and population growth. In this biology lesson, students identify the exponential growth pattern of spreading diseases. They relate this to HIV infection and AIDS.

In this health worksheet, students identify various infectious diseases and explore the available options for stopping or preventing the spread of disease. They participate in a simulation experiment on how to measure and prevent. There...

Students explore how the study of diseases, epidemics and disease management offers opportunities for exploration of biological evolution, immune systems, interaction between humans and their environment, and interaction among organisms....

Learners experiment in order to determine proper ways to disinfect hands to prevent the spread of infection.

Students explain the relationship among nutrition, infection and diseases. In this health science lesson plan, students suggest ways to break the nutrition-infection cycle. They brainstorm solutions to prevent infectious diseases in the...

Students watch a video about the spread and biology of HIV/AIDS. They discuss white blood cell counts and ways the disease is transmitted and ways it cannot be transmitted. They draw a battle between the HIV and the immune system.
