This is an effective simulation of how communicable diseases such as AIDS can be spread throughout a population. Classmates exchange samples from their individual cups of liquid: one of them containing a dilute NaOH solution, and the...

How do viruses hijack our cells to produce more viral particles? Junior immunologists model how viral RNA integrates into a host cell's DNA using pop beads and use interactive tools to explore a virus' genome. The teacher's guide...

Students examine what it might feel like to test positive for HIV. They listen to a guest speaker, conduct a role-play activity, identify positive actions to take, and design a panel for the AIDS quilt project.

Students perform a hands-on activity in which they simulate the spread of a disease such as aids. One student with unknowingly be the "carrier" of the infection and Students witness how fast it can spread.

Students simulate the spread of a virus such as HIV through a population by "sharing" (but not drinking) the water in a plastic cup with several classmates. Although invisible, the water in a few of the cups will already be tainted with...

Students participate in a simulation activity to help them summarize issues related to health promotion and disease prevention. They see first-hand what their odds are in acquiring HIV.
