Description

Our Bacteria and Viruses lesson plan introduces students to both bacteria and viruses and helps them identify the differences between them. During this lesson, students are asked to work collaboratively and use their creativity to create two posters with a poster: one which encourages people to help fight bacteria-related illnesses and show some positives of bacteria, the other of which demonstrates how people can prevent viruses and help prevent them from spreading. 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.

The students will be able to define bacteria and virus, identify characteristics of each, and compare/ contrast each.

Great Unit

Covid-19 promoted a lot if us to homeschooling moms with little to no guidance (in our case) as to how to continue our children's education properly. Thank goodness I found this great science unit on Clarendon!
