Bacteria Wanted Poster

Students will create a wanted poster for a bacterial pathogen and the disease it causes, following specific guidelines that include sections for title, mug shot, attacks, victims, crime, hideout, weapons, and other details. The project involves researching the chosen pathogen and its effects, as well as presenting the information in a visually appealing manner. Students will have one class period for research, with additional time allocated for poster completion outside of class.

Bacteria Wanted Poster Research Project


Background Information:
Students will research one bacterial pathogen and the disease crime that it causes. They will then
produce an old style wanted poster with the given parameters.
Poster Guidelines: create a section for each of the following pieces of information
1. Title
 Ex- Wanted “Listeria”
 Scientific Name
2. Mug shot
 Draw, print, or cut out a microscopic picture of the bacterium
o Add a picture of the bacteria in action ( victim under attack)
 Label the parts of the bacterium (ex cell wall flagella. etc.)
3. Attacks
 Body systems it attacks (Nervous, Muscle, respiratory, circulatory. etc.)
 Different types of infections – is there more than one type?
 How is it transmitted (Air water droplets, contact ingestion, blood. etc.)
4. Victims
 Who is most at risk
 What types of workers have been exposed (carpenters, soldiers, medical etc.)
5. Crime
 Injury to victim (symptoms) (ex Fever, swelling, pain, loss of consciousness, etc. )
 Damage to the body (ex. Tissue damage, loss of body parts, death, etc.)
6. Hideout
 Where it can be found –where would a person come in contact with the bacteria
7. Weapons
 Ways to defend yourself from contracting this disease
 Prevention (ex. Immunization, hand washing, etc.)
 Treatments (ex. Antibiotics, surgery, etc.)
8. Other details
 Make sure your poster is colorful.
 Name date and period go on the back of your poster
Procedure:
Students have one period in class to research their disease and receive assistance. Any additional time
needed for research or production/completion of the poster is to be done on their own.
