Topic outline

  • Introduction

    We have created the majority of the resources ourselves, or they have been commissioned for us,​ and used diagrams and animations wherever possible to help with the explanation or illustrate a key concept. We have taken the opportunity to interview some of our scientific experts working on the programme to give their insights and share their valuable knowledge with the students directly.

    If you are planning to teach all of the sessions, the order below is the suggested sequence for teaching. However, with the exception of "How to do your saliva test (for schools engaged in the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Saliva Testing Programme)" and "Introduction to COVID-19 testing" the lessons are designed, so they may be used as stand-alone sessions as and when required.
