Outbreak!: An Event-Based Science Module. Student Edition. Disease and Immunity Module.
Wright, Russell G.
This book is designed for middle school students to learn scientific literacy through event-based science. Unlike traditional curricula, the event-based earth science module is a student-centered, interdisciplinary, inquiry-oriented program that emphasizes cooperative learning, teamwork, independent research, hands-on investigations, and exploration of authentic tasks. Students use this book to work as a cooperative team to discover the identity of a mysterious disease rapidly spreading throughout their community. (KHR)
