The word “virus” is one of the most common words in the English language, yet it is likely that few people (especially kids) could actually give a passing definition for what they are. This course was prompted by the current outbreak of Covid 19, as understanding is often a remedy for fear, and because kids often seek education/information when it is relevant to their lives. What better time to teach the biological principles of what viruses are, and how they affect the human body, than now?! A “short course,” this class focuses on just viruses, as they interact with humans, and is super interesting. The behaviors of viruses are nothing short of bizarre and this class is a great introduction to how they behave.
