The Avian Influenza 'bird flu' virus has killed both birds and people in Asia and Africa. This lesson plan was created to help students and teachers better understand the potential threat of this virus in the United States. There are three stages to the lesson plan. The first stage covers the spread of the virus between 1996 and 2004. The second and third stages focus on the continued spread and evolution in the most recent outbreaks.
