MPR News
- Analysis – Analyze the Bar Graph that shows Mortality Rates of those impacted by the
common Flu (USA) and COVID-19 (China). Provide one Observation (Results) and one
Inference (Discussions/Conclusions); in other words what does the data mean? - Understanding – Describe the differences between an Outbreak, Epidemic, and
Pandemic. - Knowledge – Define transmission of disease.
- Comprehension – Describe the different ways a disease can be transmitted? What
impact do we have as humans that can support the control of transmission? - Application – What tactics, skills and/or techniques will you implement going forward to
help control the transmission of microbes in your daily life? - Interdisciplinary Connections- How does epidemiology and public health work
together and/or apart from one another in disease control? - Synthesis – This is the fun part- be creative as you want – and synthesize something new
and novel that will slow down transmission of a specific microbe. By that I mean,
develop or design a product that will slow down the transmission of sexually transmitted
diseases. A prime example is when the condom was created to slow down transmission.
