Excellence in Curriculum Integration through Teaching Epidemiology
 EXCITE is a collection of teaching materials developed by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to introduce students to public
health and epidemiology, the science used by "Disease
Detectives" everywhere. Students will learn about the
scientific method of inquiry, basic biostatistics, and outbreak
investigation. EXCITE adapts readily to team teaching across a
variety of subjects, including mathematics, social studies, history,
and physical education.
