Working as a CDC researcher, students investigate an outbreak of multi-drug resistant bacterial infections and determine how evolution was involved by tracing the source and cause of the outbreak.
Student progress is automatically saved so that STEM Cases can be completed over multiple sessions.

It is formatted to be converted smoothly to a Google Document. I then have the students do the full STEM Case using their notes for the handbook ques.
