Abstract
Grade Level: High School Biology
Simulate a viral outbreak in a population of rainbow trout to explore how epidemiological models are used to understand disease dynamics and the application of these approaches to aquatic systems. Groups of students will play a boardgame based on a type of epidemiological model called an SIR model. Students will graph the number of susceptible, infected, recovered, and dead individuals through time.
Focus: Modelling the spread of a fish virus in a rainbow trout population with a simulation game. Introduces students to epidemiological models and applications in aquatic disease management.
