During November, HIVE Southampton welcomed

the challenge of teaching a grand total of 11

Science classes at Kings School in Winchester, over a two-week period.

Pupils were encouraged to think independently in deducing the fundamental differences between bacteria and viruses. They eagerly took to applying their knowledge through our teaching tool “Who Wants to be a Millionaire,” learning

about HIV transmission and methods of prevention.

Through the transmission practical, pupils appreciated the asymptomatic nature of initial HIV infection, thus learning the importance of screening in developing countries, to prevent rapid population dissemination.

Many thanks to the pupils for offering a diverse and intuitive array of questions, and Kings School teachers for their invaluable support during lessons.
