Part I: 1. Explore this lesson’s vocabulary - using an activity set up by the teacher.

Here is the vocabulary : antisepsis, asepsis, carrier, communicable disease, contamination, cross-contamination, disinfection, healthcare associated infection (HAI), infection, medical asepsis, microbe, non-pathogen, pathogen, PPE, TB, HIV/AIDS, OPIM, MRSA Suggested activities for learning vocabulary in the classroom: Headbands – split students in teams of 3-4, put vocabulary on note cards, have one student select a card, do not look at it but show it to the group. The other students offer clues to the first student so the first student can guess the term. Once the first student guesses the term, the subsequent students follow the same pattern – taking a term, not looking at it, show it to the group and try to guess the term based upon the clues given. Suggested online activities: Develop a Quizlet to assist with terminology for students who need repetitive review and Quizlet can be a matching game. Can use Pear Deck or plain google sliders and have students create a slide(s) for terminology.
