Our 'Epidemics' Museum in a Box loan kit lets students investigate four infectious diseases - Smallpox, the Plague, Cholera and Covid-19!
About this Event

The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh has a collection of Museum in a Box loan kits which are available for loan to schools in Edinburgh and surrounding areas.

The Epidemics loan kit allows students to investigate four different infectious diseases - Smallpox, the Plague, Cholera and Covid-19 - in an engaging and exciting way. Through fun activities students will learn how these diseases spread, be challenged to stop an infectious disease spreading, and use objects and archive materials to identify diseases.

Epidemics contains four different activity packs, a folder of archive materials and 13 different objects - including one of our most popular objects - the plague mask!
