| Title: |
Attack of the Killer Mosquitoes! Scientific Modeling and the Scientific Method |
| Description: |
This activity explores the scientific method and how scientific modeling fits in to the scientific method as a whole. Designed around the premise of an outbreak of yellow fever, this activity introduces students to scientific modeling and has students participate in a hands-on activity to test a simple model of vector-borne disease. Afterwards, the class discusses the results and their applicability to the real world. The entire activity is structured around the scientific method. This activity is a supplement to the PEER module “Texas, 1867,” but it can stand alone.

| Teacher's Request: |
I teach a 7th grade science class, and I am looking for ways to demonstrate how scientists model natural processes. Also, anything that helps solidify the students’ understanding of the scientific method would be very helpful. I would appreciate any resources you have, but hands-on activities seem to work the best. |
