Product Details

Have you ever been sick and wondered where you got it? Diseases may be spread by the exchange of body fluids, such as saliva, from one host to another. 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 in order to trace the infection and discover the original host.

Super Value Kit is complete for 5 classes of 30 students working individually.

MS-LS2-2: Construct an explanation that predicts patterns of interactions among organisms across multiple ecosystems.
HS-LS2-6: Evaluate claims, evidence, and reasoning that the complex interactions in ecosystems maintain relatively consistent numbers and types of organisms in stable conditions, but changing conditions may result in a new ecosystem.
HS-LS2-8: Evaluate evidence for the role of group behavior on individual and species’ chances to survive and reproduce
