In this activity related to indoor air pollution, learners build take-home dust catchers with wax paper and petroleum jelly.

Adherence to HIV Treatment
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate taking HIV antiretroviral drugs by using Tic Tac mints and Kool-Aid packets.

Growing Cooties
Source Institutions
In this health activity (located on page 4 of the PDF), learners will discover the importance of hand washing by observing mold growing on potatoes.

Virus Lander
Source Institutions
Can you avoid the body's immune system and make someone sick? Play this online game in which you go inside a human body to explore how viruses attack cells in the body.

Germ Tag
Source Institutions
In this version of tag, a large group of learners model how the body fights infection. Learners act as germs, as lymphocytes, and as the body's cells threatened by germs.

Antigen-Antibody Testing: A Visual Simulation or Virtual Reality
Source Institutions
In this biology activity, learners use plastic pipettes to cut wells into the solid gel layer of agar in petri dishes and place solutions of simulated antigen and antibody preparations into the wells.

Wash This Way
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, learners investigate the importance of washing their hands.

Antibiotic Attack

This activity helps learners visualize the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) by constructing three-dimensional HIV particle models from paper.

Safe Food Preparation
Source Institutions
In this activity about food safety and nutrition, learners investigate safe food preparation by making fruit ice cream.

Medical Mystery
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 15-23) combines interactive role-playing and graphing to introduce learners to the health affects of pollen.

Glitter Slime
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 8 of the PDF, learners make a slimy substance very similar to mucus, and sprinkle it with glitter to imitate the way that allergens are trapped.

Glitter Slime
Source Institutions
Our bodies defend themselves in many different ways to prevent us from getting sick.
