After spending 10 minutes on vocabulary, we watched a video about how diseases spread by watching, "How do Pandemics Spread?"
We then started playing the role of an epidemiologist in Activity 32, "Who Infected Whom" by learning about how a disease is spread and the role that carriers like Typhoid Mary play in infection. Students were given a scenario of an imaginary outbreak at a middle school, and given information collected through interviews to try and create a disease web to figure out how the infection spread.Here we got to collaborate with our tablemates and got to try to solve a mission on who infected whom.

Students then were able to test to see which of the people in their web who didn't have symptoms were carriers of the disease.

For Activity 33 we made a Venn diagram to show some similarities and differences between carriers and vectors like the fleas that spread the black plague in the video we watched as homework
.
Then we finalized our class with watching a video of doctors and nurses who took care of one of the injured people from Ebola and there experience.
"I got myself together. I'd done what I needed to get myself prepared mentally, emotionally, and physically, and went in there and did what I was supposed to."
This was a quote that a nurse who cured for the patient stated. She was scared, but did her job with her heart.
