In this Click & Learn, students explore the diversity of viruses based on structure, genome type, host range, transmission mechanism, and vaccine availability.
To use this resource as part of this playlist:
- Before students explore the Click & Learn, pose the question “What type of virus could be used as a vector for gene therapy?”
- Have students explore the Click & Learn and complete the accompanying worksheet.
- After students complete the Click & Learn, revisit the question “What type of virus could be used as a vector for gene therapy?” Have students formulate a claim in response to this question and explain their reasoning using evidence from the Click & Learn.
Estimated Time: One 50-minute class period.
