PANDEMIC PURSUIT: EVOLVE, INFECT, PROLIFERATE <img src="https://www.who.int/images/default-source/health-topics/coronavirus/corona-virus-getty.tmb-1200v.jpg?Culture=en&sfvrsn=217a6a68_6" width="800" height="492" alt="Pandemic"> A "Choose Your Own Adventure" game aimed at teaching students what it takes for a disease to become a pandemic. This game covers the topics of natural selection, genetic mutation, environmental variation, biological behavior, and more. The choices you make for your pathogen will influence whether your disease spreads across the globe, becomes just another illness, or goes extinct all together. Choose wisely. Please remember to always scroll to the bottom of every page to see all the options. Well, let's get started. [[Begin->Student Info]]

YOUR DISEASE HAS BECOME A PANDEMIC! Congratulations! You have chosen wisely and your pathogen has spread throughout the globe. Millions may perish.
