Learners shout out names; write them on the board and circle COVID-19, Ebola, and H1N1	NATURE AND CAUSES OF COVID-19, EBOLA, AND H1N1 1Using the Textbook, read aloud the definition of each viral disease and write on the board: COVID-19 (coronavirus, respiratory), Ebola (filovirus, blood contact), H1N1 (influenza virus, respiratory droplets). Learners copy into exercise books 2Display the Science kit/specimens showing virus particle models or the Chart/diagram showing transmission routes. Point to each route (respiratory droplets, blood contact, person-to-person) and have learners repeat chorally 3Ask learners to match each disease name to its transmission mode using the chart: COVID-19 → cough/sneeze, Ebola → blood/body fluids, H1N1 → airborne droplets. Pairs check their work	1Textbook 2Science kit/specimens (virus models) 3Chart/diagram (showing transmission routes) 4Exercise book	1A volunteer comes to the board and writes one symptom each for COVID-19 (fever, cough), Ebola (bleeding, organ failure), and H1N1 (sore throat, weakness) while the class confirms 2Learners whisper to their partner three prevention methods (handwashing, mask, vaccination, isolation) and rate their confidence with fingers 1–5 Exercise 1Write one sentence explaining how COVID-19 is different from Ebola in terms of how it spreads from person to person in their exercise books.
