Hello! With all the buzz about Ebola, etc. and kids hearing about it on the news I have been thinking a lot about how to deal with this in a non-scary way in the classroom (primarily Elementary and Middle School). I have several resources I use regularly for health related teaching, and have included them in a blog post I just wrote "What is a Virus Anyway?" http://www.shareitscience.com/2014/10/what-is-virus-anyway.html I am wondering what others might use to teach about viruses in a kid friendly way. I think the key is understanding what a virus is, and about hygiene in general. Thanks in advance for sharing your ideas!
I found a great video that is CGI showing a virus attacking a cell. I wish I would have saved the link, I believe it was on Discovery Learning.
Thanks Adah and Matt! I will definitely look into those resources.
