About
This quiz covers the historical development of epidemiology and public health through case studies of major disease outbreaks, making it appropriate for 7th grade students studying the intersection of science and social studies. The questions focus on foundational concepts in disease transmission, data analysis, and public health responses, drawing from chapters about plague and cholera epidemics. Students need to understand the evolution of medical theories from the four humors to modern germ theory, analyze how early epidemiologists like John Graunt and John Snow used data collection and pattern recognition to track disease spread, and compare historical public health measures with contemporary responses like those used during COVID-19. The content requires students to synthesize information about disease causation, transmission methods, treatment evolution, and the ongoing relevance of historical epidemiological methods, while developing critical thinking skills about scientific discovery and evidence-based decision making in public health. Created by Tabitha Rue, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 7. This comprehensive reading comprehension quiz serves multiple instructional purposes, from formative assessment of student understanding to structured review of complex scientific and historical content. Teachers can use these open-ended questions as discussion starters for class conversations about scientific methodology, assign them as homework to reinforce chapter reading, or implement them as exit tickets to gauge comprehension before moving to new material. The quiz effectively supports cross-curricular learning by connecting literature with science and history, encouraging students to make real-world connections between historical events and contemporary issues. This assessment aligns with CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.6-8.7 for integrating quantitative or technical information with text, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.WHST.6-8.1 for writing arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence, and NGSS MS-LS1-5 for understanding how environmental and genetic factors influence organism growth, as students analyze disease patterns and public health responses across different time periods.
