FLINN SCIENTIFIC I MIDDLE SCHOOL LIFE SCIENCEHEALTH SCIENCEInfection! Epidemic Simulation—Super Value Laboratory KitHave you ever been sick and wondered where you got it? In this activity, the exchange of simulated saliva mimics the sharing of a beverage contaminated with an infectious virus. Students’ curiosity is piqued as they document the exchange partners to trace the infection and discover the original host. Super Value Kit is complete for 5 classes of 30 students working individually.FB2097 I $49.65Outbreak: A Study In Epidemiology—Super Value Laboratory KitStudents become Center for Disease Control scientists to uncover the source of a serious epidemic of conjunctivitis (pinkeye) at school. Students form a hypothesis and then calculate prevalence, risk of infection and relative risk of infection for students in school. Materials are reusable.FB1794 I $60.25Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing—Student Laboratory KitTeacher-designed and student-tested, this lab exposes students to the fundamental procedures used by microbiologists to inoc-ulate, culture and analyze bacterial cultures. After learning basic techniques, students determine whether a culture of E. coli is resistant, intermediately sensitive or sensi-tive to five antibiotics. FB1935 I $107.55The Epidemic—Super Value Laboratory KitStudents simulate the movement of a deadly pathogen as they become “world travelers.” How easily will it travel from one city to another when students simply shake hands? This simulation illustrates the importance of good hygiene and includes information about epidemiology, a step-by-step procedure, student worksheets, overheads and complete teacher notes.
