I used this for a medical detectives elective and the students did a food toxin lesson. This was very helpful for them to understand and calculate attack rates. It definitely helped them before we did a lab and they were able to use the skills to determine which toxin infected certain people.

This was so fun to use during my summer school CSI class. There are a lot of things in this file so you can easily spend multiple days on it.

This was a perfect addition to my PLTW Mdical Detective classes. I needed some additional attack rate scenarios and this met all my needs and had many scenarios to choose from.

This resource was awesome for giving my students tons of practice with calculating attack rates. Great for repetitive practice.

I used this is PLTW-Medical Detectives. The Medical Detectives curriculum only has one practice activity for calculating attack rates, and I found that my students needed a little more assistance with the concept than one practice activity. This was engaging for them, and we used the task cards in a game of scoot, which they enjoyed.
