Small infectious organisms called viruses can reproduce in the living cells of bacteria, plants, and animals. A virus is made of DNA or RNA genome that is enclosed in a protein shell called a capsid. As obligate intracellular pathogens, viruses must count on host cells for metabolic and reproductive functions. Although each virus category and species has a unique life cycle, all viruses replicate through the same fundamental steps. The viral life cycle can be split into several major stages: attachment, entry, uncoating, replication, maturation, and release. Let’s take a look at the life cycle of a virus to get a better understanding of our virus life cycle worksheets. Children can gain insight into stages of the virus life cycle, and bolster sequencing skills, concentration, and fine motor skills. Why don’t you adopt this resource with colorful images and photographs about the virus life cycle to create hands-on activities for your students and immerse them in the world of science right in your classroom?
