I know this doesn't fit with what you are looking for on your assignment but I figured I would throw in some extra information for you just for fun. Viruses are tiny microscopic organisms that hide a nasty surprise. Sickness! When they get inside us that's when they start dealing hack on our poor bodies! Some viruses are deadly some are not.
