How do you kill a superbug? 🦠 (Asking for your students.)

Our free lesson plan, created by #APBiology and Botany/Zoology teacher Daniel Vanden Heuvel, introduces students to the real-world public health challenge of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and explores how bacteriophages can help fight back by exploiting evolutionary tradeoffs.

During this lesson, students:
🔬 Build models to track bacterial evolution under different treatments
🎲 Play an interactive evolution board game
📊 Analyze real primary research data
✍️ Practice FRQ-style scientific reasoning

Key concepts include: evolution & natural selection, antibiotic resistance, phage therapy, fitness tradeoffs, and modeling evolution.

⏰ TODAY at 7 pm ET! Join #SCLAmbassador Daniel Vanden Heuvel for our live webinar where he’ll showcase and demo the lesson, share classroom tips, and answer questions.
