Why do you think it is important to cover your mouth when you cough?
answer
So we don't spread
germs to others
question
Why should you always wash your hands before you eat?
answer
So we don't spread the germs on our hand to our mouths so we don't get sick
question
Describe what happened on the SIMULATION pane:
answer
After 40.8 hours 0 people were airborne, 0 people were person to person, and 10 people were food born.
question
Look at the color key on the bottom right of the Gizmo. What is happening when a person
changes color?
answer
When a person turns blue they are airborne, green people are food born, and purple
people are person to person.
question
Predict: Some pathogens are spread directly from one person to another. This can happen
when people come into direct contact or share items, such as drinking glasses. What do you
think might affect how quickly a pathogen is spread from person to person?
answer
I think the amount of time spent together will effect it, the strength of the virus, the ventilation
of the room ect.
question
What does the purple person represent?
answer
person to person contact
question
Click Play, and observe the simulation for a while. What must happen for the disease
answer
For the disease to spread you need time, in this case at least 40 hours for a people.
question
How long did it take to infect five people?
answer
151.2 hours
question
Experiment: Click Reset. Change the Number of people to 15. Click Play, and record how
long it takes to infect five people. Repeat this four times for a total of 5 trials, and calculate
the mean time. Repeat the experiment when there are 25 people and 35 people in the room.
answer
Answers for chart are below:

6.3 hours, 11. 2 hours, 12.8 hours, 29.7, 13.3 hours
Mean time (h):
20.66
question
25
answer
Time to infect five people, 5 trials (h):
8.8 hours, 11.5 hours, 9.1 hours, 7.9 hours, 9.7 hours
Mean time (h):
9.46
question
35
answer
Time to infect five people, 5 trials (h):
10.1 hours, 0.8 hours, 2,7 hours, 4.6 hours, 3.1 hours
Mean time (h):
9.46
question
Interpret: Study the data you collected. What trend do you see in the data, and how would
you explain it?
answer
That the hours can completely vary but the more people the more spreading,
the less people the less spreading
question
On the SIMULATION tab, click Play. Record the time it takes to infect five people for five
trials, and find the mean. Then repeat the experiment with a medium and high probability of
transmission. (Note: For the "Medium" setting, move the slider half-way between the Low
and High positions.)
answer
I did 3 trials bc 5 takes way to long and this is auto generated anyways
Answers for chart are below:
question
Transmission Probability:
Low
answer
Time to infect five people, 5 trials (h):
13.3 hours, 34.3 hours, 102 hours
Mean time (h):
68 hours
question
Transmission Probability:
Medium
answer
Time to infect five people, 5 trials (h):
7.1 hours, 20.6 hours, 7.3 hours
Mean time (h):
2.7 hours
question
Transmission Probability:
High
answer
Time to infect five people, 5 trials (h):
3.0 hours, 3.7 hours, 4.0 hours
Mean time (h):
8.4 hours
question
Interpret: Study the data you collected in the table above. What trend do you see in the data,
and how would you explain it?
answer
That the lower the transmission probability the longer time it will take.
question
At what time did the disease spread most slowly? Most quickly?
answer
The disease spreads the quickest right about after 6 hours and it spread the most slowly in the very beginning
question
How could you explain this change in the rate of the disease's spread?
answer
the more people infected the faster the disease will spread
question
Apply: An epidemic is the rapid spread of an infectious disease. How do you think a
government could try to prevent an epidemic of a dangerous person-to-person pathogen?
answer
yes make staying home mandatory.
question
Predict: How do you expect the spread of a foodborne disease to be similar to and different
from the spread of a person-to-person disease?
answer
I don't think it will spread as fast
question
What does each person do just before becoming infected?
answer
each person goes to the food table before they get infected
question
How are foodborne pathogens transmitted?
answer
foodborne pathogens are transmitted by the consumption of the pathogen
question
If a person in the simulation never eats or drinks anything from the buffet table, is it
possible for them to become sick with the foodborne disease? Explain your answer.
answer
Um maybe if its a food born and an airborne pathogen but i think its highly unlikely, yes maybe through spit
you could get it but its unlikely
question
At what time did the disease spread most slowly? Most quickly?
answer
it went in phases so for example at around 36 hours 3 people got it and then there were no cases
until 56 hours
question
How could you explain this change in the rate of the disease's spread?
answer
The infection rate comes in waves and is completely dependent on the consumption of food.
question
Compare: How does the spread of a foodborne pathogen compare to the spread of the
person-to-person pathogen you studied in activity A?
answer
They are similar sort of but mostly different
because in group a the likelihood of getting sick was so much
higher and consistent
question
Predict: How would you expect the spread of an airborne disease to be similar to and
different from the spread of a foodborne disease and a person-to-person disease?
answer
the airborne disease is probably the highest for infection rates, then person to person and then food born just because
consuming a pathogen is way harder then breathing it
question
What patterns do you notice in how the airborne pathogen spreads?
answer
after running it a few times i noticed in the beginning it is a little unpredictable and then it begins to become more
and more consistent
question
How does the spread of an airborne pathogen compare to the spread of foodborne
and person-to-person pathogens?
answer
I was right soo uhh refer to question 5 plz :)
question
Think about it: Suppose there is an infectious disease at a party. How could doctors tell if
the disease was foodborne, airborne, or transmitted person to person?
answer
I would give blood tests and have them spit run tests on everything and then start sing common treatments
on all of them and also calculate in there symptoms and then figure out what they had and then figure out how it
was transmitted
question
Hey
answer
I know school is sucky rn, but things are gonna get better I promise, have a lovely day/or night get some sleep drink some water etc.
