The lesson plan contains material from all federal agencies, including the departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Education. The lesson plan is also available through Ag in the Classroom (AITC).

There is no human immunity and no vaccine is available. Using avian influenza as a model, this science activity will allow students to step into the role of a government or public health official. Students will track the spread of this animal health disease from its first appearance in Hong Kong in 1996 to the latest findings in 2006. They will also learn the differences in avian flu viruses and why the current outbreak, though an animal health problem, has pandemic potential.   #9 Wanna Be My Friend?  North Dakota State University  4-H Volunteer/Professional Development Materials  Subject: Safety-Personal-Home and Community Description The "Wanna Be My Friend: The Ins and Outs of Online Social Networking" program has been developed for educators to deliver to parents and caregivers of teens.
