Let’s Consider the Novel Coronavirus

The Knowledge Mobility based System Institute (KMS) with volunteers such as Okayama University, planned and developed this original teaching material for elementary school, junior high and high school students, and adults, in order to promote the prevention of novel coronavirus infection together with understanding the virus. We hope that not only in elementary schools, but also in many places such as after-school centers and supplemental schools will use this teaching material.
