Welcome to the 5th grade PLTW class, where we will be navigating through the Engineering Design Process. The first module we will go through will be titled, Infection Detection.

During our mission through excellence in the Infection Detection module we will ask ourselves various questions like the ones below:


  • How can germs be spread from person to person?


  • How does the body defend itself from infectious disease?


  • How can medical professionals use patient symptoms to diagnose illness?


  • How can scientists determine how a germ spreads through a group of people?
