Educational Resources

At the CVR we have developed a range of freely downloadable educational resources for all ages, all about viruses!

  • ArtGoesViral

    Our very own colouring book illustrated and written by CVR scientists.

  • AR Visible Viruses

    The app aimed primarily at secondary school pupils, is a multimedia educational tool, which combines posters and an app to explore key features of three viruses.

  • Virus Snowflakes

    This booklet contains designs for decorative paper snowflakes - or are they? Look at them carefully enough and you will find that they are packed with virology details.

  • SARS-CoV-2 Mutation Explorer

    This interactive application allows you to visualise and explore mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

  • Fight the Pandemic Board Game

    Follow SARS-CoV-2 as it spreads throughout the world causing a global pandemic.

    This boardgame is an educational resource for children to highlight good hygiene practice and behaviour.

  • Build a Virus

    Why not try out making our virus models and use them to create a mobile? Simply download and print the templates we have prepared!

  • Bioinformatics with Bricks

    Have a go at performing a reference sequence assembly like our bioinformaticians for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
