As a biology teacher, I thought this video would be especially helpful for me to show in class! I would use it in conjunction with the mitosis/meiosis topic and use a lab that was designed to show the spread of disease. Students would put gloves on and then touch something, one of them being coated in E. coli. They would then go around and shake each other's hands transferring the E. coli to one another. They would then swab their gloves and plate the swab to see which people ended up with the bacteria on their gloves. This would show how quickly something can spread even when you can't see it, and just like an infectious disease, it can really hurt people.
Cute yet serious cartoon, love it! It is very true that just because we can't see the damage happening doesn't mean it can't hurt people.
