HANG WITH THE SCIENCE CLUB!
Cartoon handwritten text that reads: The Swab and Jab Science Club

Last year, Swab, Jab and their friends journeyed to New Normalcyville. This year, the gang is teaching us science – from how viruses spread to how masks work and beyond! 

Science Club Meetings

#3: How COVID-19 Spreads

Coming soon!

#1: The Scientific Method

Setting the foundation with the Scientific Method!

#2: Types of Germs

Learn about the 4 different types of GERMS (or microorganisms!) with the gang. This is the foundation for learning about how viruses like COVID-19 are spread. 

#1: The Scientific Method

Swab, a cartoon testing Swab is having a conversation with Jab, a cartoon vaccine. Swab says, “What’s our first Science Club adventure, Jab? Are we learning all about COVID-19?” Jab replies, “Before we get into the science of COVID-19, we’re going back to the basics and looking at the SCIENTIFIC METHOD.” Swab says, “What a great starting point for scientific discovery!”
