 * Activity - Creating Viral Models
 * Resources: Websites, Videos, Papers

Basic Microbiology (Bacteria) - Lauren Lamonaca-Bada Homeostasis - The Digestive System and its Disorders - Melissa Vreeker Infectious Diseases - Treatment and Prevention - Sarah Murray Viruses - Joyce Longfield

==Homeostasis: The Digestive System and its Disorders == In this section you will find information, pictures, a glossary, review assessments, quizes, and a case study done using Prezi. Please take the time to peruse this section.

**Viruses**
This section includes a PowerPoint Presentation to outline the steps in viral replication, a background on viruses (including evolution, history, size, and structure) and an example of viral therapy (i.e. phage therapy). From this presentation I created a page to summarize viral replication, outlining the four major steps: 1) Attachment & Penetration, 2) Uncoating, 3) Replication, and 4) Assembly & Release.

I found an activity on the Discovery Channel Website for making model viruses. I really liked this activity because it discusses viral size so I came up with some questions to assess the student's understanding what sizes are microscopic and some basic calculation questions for converting microscopic units of measure.

All of the websites, papers and videos I used for the information in the presentation and resource package are also posted. Check out the BrainPOP website, it is worth the subscription!
