Zombie attack

This is one of the highlights of my year. It involves nearly everything I love about teaching. Physical activity, math, science, ethics, role playing, class generated data, and high engagement both during the lesson and in the subsequent write up. We start the model with a single zombie. Students must get food and water each "day" (30sec.). If the zombie tags you, you become a zombie at nightfall. We chart how quickly the zombie virus spreads. Then we play again but implementing a semi voluntary quarantine. Now the bitten can choose to quarantine themselves or not and become zombies. Finally we run it again with a vaccine present. The next day we graph, analyze, draw conclusions, and look at reasons why people refuse vaccinations and the results from that decision.  Two survivors left facing down the zombie horde.
