Introducing students to the respiratory and immune systems, health outcomes from exposure to bioaerosols. The objectives are grouped according to Key Stages in the UK National Curriculum and are also internationally relevant.
KEY STAGES 1-2 (AGE 5-11)
Students will be able to:
• Identify the key features of the respiratory system
• Identify negative and positive health effects of bioaerosols

• Explain the terms “exposure” and “risk”
• Understand how risk and exposure can lead to a health outcome
• List pre-existing health conditions that make a person ‘at risk’ (i.e. asthma)
