Unit

Community Immunity: A simulation-based exploration of vaccination choices

Grades

8-12

Using simulations and role play, students explore how knowledge, social influences, access, and policy all influence whether individuals vaccinate. They then see how vaccination rates of a community determine whether an outbreak turns into an epidemic or gets stopped in its tracks.

Alignment summary( Connected)

Lesson 1

In Lesson 1, students use the computer simulation model to predict the outcomes influenced by the initial chance of vaccination, social influences, and vaccine accessibility.
