Students are also asked to answer questions about bacteria and viruses uses words from a word bank in order to demonstrate their understanding of the lesson.

Bacteria and Viruses Lesson

The lesson plan was easy to use. As a teacher there was enough facts and information available without me doing more research into the topic. Furthermore, my students loved the activities are could be really creative with them. Leena
