Viruses Bundle

Description

A fun bundle of resources for your viruses lesson!

These resources are rigorous, yet engaging for students. Custom graphics are used to bring viruses to life, helping students visualize their structure and reproductive cycles. Students will complete Google Slides activities, including labelling viruses, true or false statements, reading an article about a “zombie virus”, labelling a diagram of the lytic cycle and more!

Once students have completed the slides, the Doodle Notes are a perfect review activity or homework. Then you can easily assess student progress with the self-grading Google Forms Quiz. There are images to support some questions and increase engagement.

There are answer slides and with handy teacher guides so you know how to use these activities in your classroom.
