A question for the whole room

One story to open. A room full of ideas to test.

Ready in three steps

  1. Open the story.Read and try the first pages together.
  2. Pause for a prediction.At the story’s question, read its choices aloud. Invite a vote and ask, “What makes you think that?”
  3. Run it. Watch. Wonder.Choose the class’s prediction, run the experiment, and compare what happened with your guesses.

Different guesses are welcome. The experiment gives everyone something to rethink.

Something to put on paper

A one-page prediction and observation sheet. No answers included.

After the experiment: discussion notes

Talk about what happened

  • Why is an air-versus-touch choice too simple for many respiratory pathogens?
  • Why can hand hygiene still have a useful job even when shared-air transmission is possible?
  • Why does layering lower opportunities without guaranteeing zero risk?

Where it shows up in real life

  • Opening windows or using suitable filtration to improve indoor air
  • A person who is sick staying home while classmates include them remotely
  • Washing hands before touching the eyes, nose, or mouth
