Is it a bird?

Is it a plane?

No, it is SUPERBUG!

Superbug, aka-MRSA- infected one of the students in your school. This Superbug is more powerful than a locomotive. It is faster than a speeding bullet. And even though it is not able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, it entered your school building.

Your principal has called upon you to stomp out this Superbug and prevent it from infecting any other students or staff members.

Each of you will take on a role, either a microbiologist, epidemiologist or health educator. You will identify what MRSA is, where this Superbug lurks, and teach preventive measures to your school community on how to combat the spread of this Superbug. As a team of specialists you will join together using the knowledge you have acquired from previous health and science classes as well as this webquest to make your school community aware of the immediate and harmful effects of this Superbug.

Are you up for the challenge?
