Online Odysseys
The links below will connect you to the online oOdyssey of your choice. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND that teachers review the PBL and EHS sections of this website before implementing an odyssey. Each online Odyssey has a student site and an accompanying teacher site. The introduction to the Odyssey and How-to-guide will help lead teachers through the implementation process. These odysseys have been put online for ease of access, however, we still recommend running the majority of the student investigations and Anchor Lessons in a real-world, offline format.
During this authentic investigation, students focus on germs and germ tranmission. Looking at data either from your own school or from the Odyssey, students analyze how attendance rates are impacted by the germs that are spread from person to person. Students also learn how to control germ transmission and educate others on this topic.
Students learn about the cause and various sources of disease, as they participate in a simulated investigation of an outbreak of student illnesses after a class trip to the zoo.
