About This Lesson
In this Common Core aligned activity students will use real data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to map the prevalence of a vector-borne disease. Students can map data by hand or with a free online mapping tool. By listening to SciFri interviews students learn the importance of quantitative mapping and data analysis for new diseases like Chikungunya. A map of climate regions can be used to draw inferences on the relationship between vectors and infection risk. Addresses epidemiology concepts including disease vectors, disease ecology, prevalence, and infection rate.
Cannot get link the analysis questions to work and this is a great activity to use and analyze data...any suggestions?
