Patrick Blower We thought it might be helpful to gather some of our resources that offer valuable insights on topics being circulated in the news in relation to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Understanding the outbreak of a virus

For example, what defines a pandemic? How can viruses be transmitted from animals to humans? And exactly what is a virus? How pandemics spread Dig into the history of pandemics to learn how viruses and disease spreads and what we can do to stop future outbreaks. In our increasingly globalized world, a single infected person can board a plane and spread a virus across continents.

How do viruses jump from animals to humans Discover the science of how viruses can jump from one species to another and the deadly epidemics that can result from these pathogens. At a Maryland country fair in 2017, farmers reported feverish hogs with inflamed eyes and running snouts. How vaccines work Learn the science behind how vaccines trigger an immune response and teach our bodies to recognize dangerous pathogens. Cell vs. Coronaviruszine.jpg.

The Life Cycle of a Virus: How Viruses Live, Attack & Replicate - Video & Lesson Transcript. Viral Hijackers - Lesson. Summary Students learn how viruses invade host cells and hijack their cell-reproduction mechanisms in order to make new viruses, which can in turn attack additional host cells.

Viral Hijackers - Lesson

Students also learn how the immune system responds to viral invasions, eventually defeating the viruses—if all goes well. Finally, they consider the special case of HIV, in which the virus' host cell is a key component of the immune system itself, thereby severely crippling the immune system and ultimately leading to AIDS. Note the recommended order to conduct this lesson/activitiy set: After presenting the lesson's Introduction/Motivation content, conduct the associated activity—a dramatic hands-on simulation that illustrates how quickly a virus can spread through a population, and then challenges students to determine who the initial bearers of the virus were.

Then return to the lesson, with students ready to learn more about viruses. Engineering Connection Learning Objectives Educational Standards State Standards. Intro to Viruses.

Viruses/Infectious Diseases: What’s Really Bugging You?

Context In middle school, students should examine the nature, causes, structure, and the basis of infectious diseases, including viruses. This lesson helps to introduce the concept of viruses, what type of life forms they are, how they can be transmitted, how they affect humans and interfere with normal body functioning, and what our immune systems are. Using several Web resources, students will be able to identify characteristics of viruses and infectious diseases, identify which diseases have been with us a long time, and how new viruses and diseases come about, such as HIV and Ebola that affect human immune systems, and which diseases that had been eradicated are recurring.

Ideas in this lesson are also related to concepts found in the following National Science Education Standards: Planning Ahead. "Washing Hand" Corona Song (Ghen Cô Vy) - English Version.
