Lesson (Grades 6-8): Africa's Struggle with AIDS

http://www.nationalgeographic.com/xpeditions/lessons/01/g68/africaaids68.html

This National Geographic Xpeditions lesson is designed to help students understand the enormity of the impact of AIDS on the population of Africa, by comparing its effect there with its effect on the population of the world in general, and especially on that of the United States. After using maps to locate Africa on a world map, and individual sub-Saharan nations on a map of Africa students will examine charts and graphs to find and compare data about AIDS in Africa, the world, and the United States.
