3. Build a virus model: first we planned it out and made sure we had all of the parts (genetic material, capsid and envelope) then you got air dry clay and modelling clay and made your own virus.

4. You had to answer 3 questions about your virus:
- How will your virus 'get in' the body?
- What disease will it cause? BE CREATIVE, make up a unique one
- Is it curable? or is there a vaccine for it?
