Free educational resources for ages 3-16

e-Bug resources support students to learn about microbes, infection prevention and control, antibiotics and vaccination. Each lesson plan is mapped to the National Curriculum and includes activities, handouts, worksheets, and adaptable content. Scroll down to see the range of resources on offer.

Please note! Since the development of the e-Bug resources, brilliant advances have been made in vaccine development. Our resources note that vaccinations are made from a weakened or inactivated microbe, however, this definition has now expanded! Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines, like some of the COVID-19 vaccines, teach our cells how to make a protein, or piece of protein, to trigger an immune response inside our bodies. Look at our vaccination pages for more information, and keep an eye out on the e-Bug website as we continue to update based on the latest scientific discoveries.
