Why don't antibiotics work like they used to?
In this high school unit on evolution, students initially investigate the case of young girl with a life-threatening infection of pan-resistant bacteria. This case sparks questions that lead them to investigate the growing prevalence of such cases and the discrepancies between antibiotic use in their communities and CDC recommendation. They expand their investigations to look at population changes occurring in a population of birds (Juncos) as they build a model for natural selection and evolution that can account for the changes they are witnessing in both populations.
