Product Details

Students become Center for Disease Control scientists as they uncover the source of a serious epidemic in a school. The scenario takes advantage of one of the most familiar and contagious school diseases-conjunctivitis (pinkeye). The students first provide a hypothesis and then use the same analytical methods that epidemiologists use to test their hypothesis. Students calculate the prevalence, the risk of infection and the relative risk of infection for the students in the school scenario. Complete with an informative background on the field of epidemiology, step-by-step procedures, student worksheets and teacher notes. All the materials are completely reusable.
