There’s a lot going on in our world right now. Understanding how viruses spread, how the body’s immune system works, and what vaccines are can help children and families feel safer in uncertain times.
Use our lesson plans to start open conversations, encourage curiosity about health and the body, and inspire discussions about what it means to feel safe.
