Mystery Disease

A serious illness is sweeping through the small community of Jamestown. Why are all these people sick? Where did they contract the disease? Students become public health workers as they track down the source of the illness. This problem-based unit combines science, social studies, math, research, group collaboration, and communication as students work in teams to solve the problem and present their findings. This type of learning presents real-world projects for genuine, higher-order learning. Tell your students to put on their thinking caps, sharpen their research skills, and get ready to tackle a menacing problem.
