Student Reading
Explore how stresses to our global environment affect public health and nature’s potential to cure human disease.
Case Study
Discover Rwanda’s successes in improving child and maternal mortality over the past 20 years.
Lesson Plans
Students mimic the spread of disease by exchanging liquids in test tubes in a hands-on simulation. They then graph and analyze data from the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone in 2014-2016, and watch and respond to short videos on the drivers of zoonoses and pandemics.
Students create flowcharts that link environmental issues with human health issues.
Representing different countries, students step forward or backward based on health conditions in their borders, to find which countries have an advantage in a final “race for health.” They then analyze different visual data on health spending and health coverage around the globe.
