Goal

For students to better understand how scientists study the spread of diseases and why the everyday routines of normal life changed because of an invisible threat.  

What will be done with my students

This will be the second year of this successful lesson built to explore how certain microbes and viruses are spread. I will set up an outbreak zone in class that students will have to use the appropriate tools to find how the virus spreads. Students will then test ways to stop the spread of this virus. This real life learning model with glo germs will allow for students to see the invisible virus with a black light and immediately test measures to stop the spread.  

Benefits to my students

Students will understand the importance of scientific research that occurs everyday, especially, during a pandemic. Students will be more careful about following these precautions for the safety of all and better understand why their daily life has changed so much over the course of the last year.  

Budget Narrative

The Glo Germ kit includes all needed supplies except for gloves which have been added to the budget. Also added are two boxes of 100+ exam gloves for student use during the activity.
