Introduction
My head is itchy !
This webquest is designed for primary school students to use as a lesson, specifically
for Years 1 and 2, so they can find and present information that can be used for the
broader school and parent community about the ways we can identify head lice (nits) and
how they can be treated.
As part of the schools 'Be Happy and Healthy' week, there is a competition for best flyer
about head lice. The winner will have their flyer added to the schools website and printed
for all students to take home as part of the awareness for the management of head lice.
Head lice - Small, wingless insects that live, breed and feed on the human scalp.
