Students rotate through three short stations: a flock-tag outbreak simulation with infection tokens, a mini-lesson using symptom/transmission/prevention cards, and a sample board-game critique table with a short rulebook excerpt. Teams collect evidence on what makes bird flu spread faster, what slows it down, and which parts of a real outbreak the model leaves out. The class ends with a driving-question debrief and a quick team sketch of one possible board-game rule, prevention card, or outbreak condition to investigate next phase.
