    The document provides information about a geography class learning about the Zika virus. It begins with introducing the learning objectives to understand what Zika is and its importance. It then has the students complete a warm up activity categorizing different types of hazards. They then learn about Zika through a mind map and video. This is followed by questions to clarify their understanding of Zika. Students then read a handout on Zika which provides key details in a question format, such as when and where it was discovered, how it spreads, symptoms, and prevention methods. It concludes with additional questions for students to consider about Zika's implications and how countries can work to prevent further outbreaks.

    Recap

    11.What are the two types of mosquitoes, and why are officials
    concerned about them? Aedes aegypti & aedes albopictus
    later has far greater reach.
    12.What are the two types of mosquitoes, what are their
    differences and why are officials concerned about them?
    13.Outbreaks in the USA are expected to be less severe. Why?
    Do you think this would be true for Australia too why/why
    not?
    14.Zika is still very new and unknown. Give 3 policies you think
    countries should put in place to counter the virus. Answer for
    an infected country (e.g. Brazil) and one without a major
    outbreak (e.g. Australia).
    15.The Olympics will be hosted by Rio de Janeiro, Brazil later this
    year. Think of 3 ways the Zika virus will complicate things for
    Brazil, athletes and/or tourists.
    16.With climate change allowing mosquitos to survive in more
    and more places, diseases like Zika will present a hazard to
    more of the worlds population including in Australia. What
    can we do to prevent these disasters, both locally and
    globally?
