Description

The following is a lesson plan to teach children in grades K-8 about foodborne illness, particularly E. coli O157:H7. Several activities are included – you may choose or adapt those that are appropriate for age group and education level. This educational tool includes the following:
1. Ideas for introduction of subject.
2. Information needed to lecture about and explain E. coli O157:H7 and other pathogens.
3. Activities for children to develop a better understanding of the subject.
4. Additional resources.
We hope that this will be a valuable tool for educating children and decreasing their risk of becoming infected with E. coli O157:H7 and other human-animal pathogens. A special “thank you” is extended to the Midwest Dairy Council for providing funds to support this educational effort.
