🦠 Bird Flu Systems Mini-Lab

Content Expertise Critical Thinking & Problem Solving 6-8.AG.4.1 6-8.AG.4.2 Submission Required

Students analyze short case cards, symptom photos, and transmission/prevention scenarios to build a shared science base for the game. The teacher models how to trace inputs, processes, and outputs in an outbreak system, then teams sort evidence into categories such as symptoms, spread routes, and prevention moves. Students finish by drafting 3 interview questions that check whether another student understands the science clearly enough to play a bird flu game.
