Students conduct a test to help them visualize the spread of germs. They identify that a pandemic is an epidemic (an outbreak of an infectious disease) that spreads across a large region or even worldwide. Finally, students state whether their hypothesis was correct or not, if germs can easily and knowingly be shared, adn how contamination occurs.
