In this module, children can learn about various diseases, the pathogen, and their associated vaccines. Then they can use the information on the website and other sources online to create posters about each disease. This module can be tied to arts and crafts sections of the curriculum, including Science Grade 1 Topic C Building Things, and Grade 3 Topic B Building with a Variety of Materials.
