Preparing an Activity :

In addition to collecting and analyzing data, epidemiologists monitor disease outbreaks, bioterrorism threats, and other problem areas to help assess public health risks and plan responses.

In this lesson, you have explored the role of an epidemiologist in environmental public health and learned how you can apply this topic to your science and science literacy curriculum. Now it's time to think about how you could create your own activity that ties a topic in environmental public health to your curriculum. Begin by reviewing your responses in previous sections to see how your comments might provide inspiration for this activity. Click "My Work" above and view or print out the screen that pops up.

To broaden your options, you can review all the media in the Environmental Public Health collection and refer to your own local educational standards. Then design an activity that incorporates at least one media resource and supports at least one science and technology or science literacy standard.
