What is an Epidemic and How Does An Infection Spread?
Infectious agents such as bacteria & viruses can spread rapidly through a population and cause widespread disease and death. In this experiment, your students will use colored solutions to simulate the spreading of a disease in the classroom.
• Explore how bacteria & viruses spread through a population
• Use clear solutions and a color-changing indicator to model a classroom infection
• Record potential infection events and practice contract tracing
• Discuss different types of infections and different detection techniques
Group Size:
For 10 lab groups
Time Required:
Complete in 30 minutes
Kit Includes:
Instructions, HCl solution, NaOH, color indicator, test tubes & pipets.
All You Need:
Students!
Storage:
Room Temperature
