The week before schools closed as part of social distancing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, I spent some time discussing the mechanics of viral transmission in my classes (I teach high school biology – Honors and AP). We did a disease transmission lab where students simulated a viral outbreak in the classroom, watched the movie Contagion (AP Biology only), and spent some time learning about how coronaviruses function (and why soap is a good weapon against them).
One of the videos I showed that I liked was the one embedded below – it discusses how far a sneeze can travel, the difference between large and small droplets produced when sneezing, and how this is related to viral transmission (for more on this as it relates to COVID-19, check out this article on STAT). Enjoy, and I hope you find it informative!
