COVID-19 has caused so many changes in our lives. What are we doing differently now? Why are we doing those things, and how do we feel about all of the changes? In the context of decisions their families make, students explore the basics of how the virus affects people, and design investigations to explore how it spreads from person to person, and what we can do to prevent that spread.
Students explore examp

At the start of this module, students are given a mysterious gray object: an owl pellet. They examine it and find many small bones inside. Three questions, "What are bones?", "Whose bones are they?", and "Where do they come from?" focus the investigations.
Learning experiences that explore human bone groups, teeth, and joints, as well as the skeletons of other animals help students develop an understanding of bone structure and its relationship to function.
