Swine Flu
In this activity, aimed at primary level children learn about micro-organisms and hygiene by looking at swine flu and its symptoms. Using data on the number of cases of spine flu in the UK children discuss how viruses are spread, consider how they can be contained and learn how scientists use current data to revise their predictions. Activities include games and simulations which model how viruses spread through a population. The resource provided by Primary Upd8, contains teacher guidance, an assessment grid and ideas for extension activities.
