Description

Prior to late 2020, most students had no real
concept of a pandemic that could strike humans of
all races, economic conditions, and geographic
locations. COVID 19 brought about awareness of
the impact of social, economical, geographic factors
of the spread of an infectious disease. In this lesson, students will identify the countries
most affected by COVID 19. They will explore and analyze the data using the mathematical skill of
scientific notation. This lesson contains adaptations for diverse learners (ELLs).
