Outbreak!: Investigating Epidemics

A group of learners simulates the spread of disease by trading slips of paper, one set of which has been treated with a baking soda solution. After trading papers amongst the group, learners test their papers to see if they have one that has the disease. They check their notes to find the source of the contamination.
