Here are a couple of free sites to help you teach “real-world” math and science concepts.
STEM Behind Hollywood: Use a graphing calculator to do the zombie outbreak activities. Determine factors that would help spread a pandemic, and in the process, learn about some science concepts like how diseases spread through a population, and how parts of the brain can be affected.
BTW: here's a link to a free online graphing calculator: Desmos
Bio-Rad Explorer: Has videos, PowerPoints, animations, and lessons for learning about various biology topics, including Covid-19.
BioNinja: Lots of free resources covering cells, genetics, ecology, physiology, and more. The site also has learning modules with slideshows, worksheets with answer keys, and study guides.
DNA Learning Center: Lots of videos and lab demos on biology topics.
In addition, here are some free resources on other types of outbreaks, no graphing calculator required:
What Are Germs? KidsHealth article on bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa
Viruses and Bacteria: Glencoe textbook chapter
