As coronavirus spreads throughout the country, it is important for students to know the facts. In part 1 of this inquiry-based webquest, students will investigate the science behind the coronavirus. In part 2 students will use interactive online resources to explore careers that connect with disease outbreaks including physician, pharmacist, technical writer, and more. Students will identify key career information (salary, education, etc.), and will make disease outbreak connections for each career through career-focused games and web-based activities. This webquest includes 19 multi-step questions (table fill-ins and short answer) with connections to STEM careers and coronavirus. Appropriate for middle and high school students, taking at least 90 minutes to complete. Purchase includes WORD document webquest as well as GoogleDoc version, comprehensive PDF answer key, and access to premium online STEM career exploration resources.
This is a perfect activity for students to complete from home if school is closed, or in class as an important investigation into the facts of coronavirus, and the people who are working to help in this situation. Students can successfully complete this activity independently – a helpful distance learning resource.
