Here come the body invaders! Not literally. Are you looking for a multi faceted resource that is hands on, promotes active learning and engage your students to learn about viruses and their “evil” siblings? This product might be helpful. There are 3 parts to the activity. They can be used as solo activities or used together.
In Activity 1: Students label a general virus structure. Then compare viruses, viroids and prions in a Venn diagram activity. I have included an easel version too.
In activity 2: Students learn about viral replication. They explore lytic and lysogenic replication through a hands on cut and paste activity. (Check preview for sample work). This activity is sure to engage them physically and mentally. There is an easel version as well.
In activity 3: Students identify some common viruses by exploring an HHMI biointeractive website. Students use clues provided to find a virus. After that they will draw the external structure of these viruses on their worksheets.
I have included answer keys to all the worksheets and teacher guide to assist you as much as possible.
Use these activities to keep the kids interested in this often dull topic. I do hope you find these activities helpful.
