Recommendation:

The information presented through the three missions on this site is good quality and students need to learn the information provided to play the games so they will pick it up quickly. While the games within the missions use this information, they are basic arcade games. The animation and characters are appropriate for students.

Description:

From the website: "Medical Mysteries is a problem-based adventure game that engages you, the player, in the role of scientist, historian and detective. There are three missions, each with its own learning objectives. The knowledge gained from each mission will help you understand how infectious diseases are spread."

Possible uses:

Classes can use this site to learn about infectious diseases - the six types of infectious agents, the role of the immune system, modes of transmission, treatments and prevention, and the types of pathogens. Teachers will find printable resources to use with the site and for testing students on the topic. A list of other 'cool links' is provided.
