Stop infection spread. Pupils participate in an activity to model infections and replications of viruses. Within the activity, scholars see that viruses may end up with genetic variation and connect that to how some forms of the flu are more deadly than others. Learners continue on to see how the life cycle of HIV differs from that of influenza.
