Knowledge is Power

Reviewing what we’ve learned…
Ms. Lerman's 8th Grade Science Class

For the last two weeks
we have been learning about
AIDS and the HIV virus. 

The purpose of this website is to review all of the information
we have learned to help prepare you for the cumulative exam. 

Please take time to investigate each link
and reflect on the new information you have learned.

Watch this “Ask Tim and Moby” animation for a brief overview of AIDS and the HIV virus. 
Be sure to take the quiz at the end of the movie.
