Infection prevention is the focus of two lessons. In lesson one, scholars take a brief quiz, survey peers, and discuss prevention techniques to stay healthy. Lesson two examines how germs work—transmission, symptoms, treatments, and prevention. Pupils draw or build what a germ looks like then invent one of their own.
