### Disease Dynamics - Understanding the Spread of Diseases

##### Age 14 to 16

A chance to explore the mathematics of networks as applied to epidemics and the spread of disease.

##### Age 11 to 16

This short activity encourages students to consider a surprising result about the average number of friends that people have.

### Anonymity Game

##### Age 11 to 16

This short activity encourages students to consider the risks associated with insecure data collection, including how identities can be reconstructed from partial data.

##### Age 11 to 16

This activity encourages students to consider different ways of interpreting data about networks, and what this means in the context of disease.

### Epidemics on Networks

##### Age 11 to 16

This activity introduces students to networks, and enourages them to consider these in the context of social networks and diseases.

### Disease Dilemmas

##### Age 11 to 16

This activity encourages students to consider ethical questions relating to disease outbreaks, and to explore the difficulties of combatting infectious diseases.
