What questions can they answer if they are beginning to understand this material? 1) What are the links in the infection chain? (infectious agent-reservoir-portal of exit-mode of transmission-portal of entry-host (susceptible)) 2) What is the most important and cheapest weapon against spreading infections? (handwashing) 3) How does social distance reduce the risk for transmission of disease? (the greater the space between people the less likely the microbes can travel that far)

4. Elaborate/Extend (20-40 minutes):

What situation can we set up so that students can build on their new knowledge to learn more? How can students use the knowledge/skill gained in this lesson to apply in other situations, for example in the “real world” or in other classes?
