Elementary Resources to Teach Coronavirus and Disease Prevention Prevention

NOTE: If you are looking for online and offline distance learning resources, we put them into the Teacher Toolkit

In this module, we share "kid-appropriate" sources about coronavirus, and activities/labs that you can do to reinforce handwashing hygiene. These were designed to be used in the classroom, although you may adapt a few of these (like having students make distance learning posters or books) for home. 

Middle & High School Resources for Teaching Coronavirus & Epidemiology

NOTE: If you are looking for online and offline distance learning resources, we put them into the Teacher Toolkit

The recent coronavirus outbreak provides students with an opportunity to learn about the STEM careers that are involved with keeping our population healthy. While most of our resources are geared toward elementary-aged students, I couldn't help but share some excellent resources for grades 7-12.
