The Elementary Coronavirus Education Kit is an excellent educational tool to use in the classroom, at home, or even at work or community events.
This kit provides an introduction to the key scientific topics surrounding the Coronavirus outbreak. This is a simpler version of our Coronavirus Education Kit and is designed for use in Grades 2 - 7. Through 6 hands-on activities, students will gain an appreciation for virus transmission, better understand the importance of hygienic practices, and begin to understand the consequences and responses of spread through a community.
For younger students, refer to the included teacher guide for ways to optimize their learning experience. Take a look at how one family used this kit to teach their kids about germs and virus transmission!
The Kit Includes 6 Hands-On Activities:
1. Testing hand-washing techniques for the removal of simulated viruses and germs on hands; practicing proper hand hygiene
2. Exploring person-to-person virus transmission using Glo Germ Powder
3. Assessing the possibility of surface-to-person transmission
4. Demonstrating droplet-based transmission from a sneeze or cough
5. Finding the source of a virus outbreak in a fictitious scenario
6. Creating a potential solution that could be implemented in the fictitious community to protect citizens, prevent the spread of an infectious disease, and care for infected patients
This Coronavirus Education Kit comes with a multi-page, full-color Teachers Guide, a multi-page reproducible Lab Manual with helpful background information for students, and a multi-page reproducible Student Worksheet.
Use this pandemic lab kit to answer questions such as:
- What is a pandemic?
