Curated OER
Malaria Introduction
Learners analyze three different strategies for controlling the spread of malaria. They examine the disease and how people catch it. Students explore the life cycle of the malaria parasite.

I Wonder What Malaria is
Young scholars examine the disease malaria. They compare how diseases were spread in the early 1900's compared to how they are spread today and discuss why that is dangerous. They take a survey to see how much they know about insects...

MedMyst Mission 4: Malady In Mabuufo
An outbreak of malaria requires your help to stop its spread. To discover the pathogen that causes malaria and multiple ways to fight the illness scholars play games, answer short quizzes, and learn scientific concepts with the fourth...

Antigen Switching in Malaria
Students model how the malaria-causing protist avoids immune response in its host. In this parasite biology lesson, students use printed cell images to model the way that Plasmodium changes surface protein markers every few generations...

Malaria: The Cause
Students explore the basic facts about malaria. They study how the disease can spread so quickly and label the pathway of the malaria parasite.

Mendelian Genetics, Probability, Pedigree, and Chi-Square Statistics
People with the sickle cell trait, but not sickle cell disease, find natural protection against malaria. Scholars consider various combinations of genotypes and environmental factors to determine if children might have sickle cell...
Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Testing a Hypothesis
Are sickle cell disease and malaria related somehow? Scholars learn about both illnesses and the hypotheses that they are related. They discuss, view a video, and answer questions to demonstrate understanding. The resource includes an...
A Mighty Girl
Tu Youyou
Meet Tu Youyou, the first woman from China to win a Nobel Prize. Display a poster of Youyou in your classroom to inspire young scientists to persevere where others have failed. Her discovery of artemisinin to cure malaria has saved...

Population Genetics
Genetic variation shows the health of a population, yet cheetahs show very little variation over that last 10,000 years. Scholars learn the importance of genetic variation in populations after viewing an informative presentation. It...

Mosquito Bytes
Young scholars investigate mosquitoes. In this mosquito bytes lesson, students consider reasons why mosquitoes transfer disease and ways to combat them. Young scholars read an article, discuss, and complete a quiz.

The Making of the Fittest: Natural Selection in Humans
Sickle cell disease only occurs when both parents contribute the trait, and mostly in those of African descent. Where did it come from? How did it evolve? Tony Allison, a molecular biologist, noticed a connection between sickle cell and...

Measuring Evolution of Populations
The Hardy-Weinberg principle is the focus of this concise slideshow. Some vocabulary definitions are given on the first 2 slides, and the rest are given over to examples of the Hardy-Weinberg theorem. Calculations of the H-W principle...
Curated OER
Climate Change And Disease
High schoolers consider the role of climate change in the occurrence of vector born diseases such as malaria. In small groups, they research a specific vector to complete an information chart on climate changes in the region where the...
Curated OER
Mosquito Bites
Students examine malaria. In this malaria lesson, students visit selected websites to watch videos and read information about how malaria is spread and how it can be prevented. Students use their findings to launch their own awareness...
Curated OER
Using Mathematics to Explain the Spread of Diseases
Students use statistics to solve problems based on the spread of disease. In this disease lesson plan students study the role that viruses and bacteria play in the spread of diseases and explain pandemics.
Baylor College
Microbes and Disease
Discuss how diseases have impacted human history. Divide your class into groups and assign each group one of the following: tuberculosis, malaria, plague, cholera, smallpox, and AIDS. They read up on, complete a concept map, and present...
Curated OER
Power of Germs
Learners view the film, Guns, Germs, and Warfare. They create projects based on the impact of germs on the development of societies and countries.
Curated OER
Stories of Hope: Dragonfly and Mosquito
Learners identify and interpret the value of the dragonfly as a predator of the mosquito. They create their own folktales using the dragonfly or a creature of their choice to solve the malaria problem or another issue. Students also...
PBS
Symbiotic Strategies: The Secret Lives of Sharks and Rays
Learners investigate the interaction in an oceanic ecosystem. For this symbiotic relationship lesson, high schoolers investigate how ecological relationships evolve over long periods of time in order to maintain balance and stability of...

How Do Fibers Form?
The proteins inside a cell determine the shape of the cell. While most red blood cells have a circular shape, those with sickle cell take the shape of a sickle. This change in shape causes multiple issues in the system. Scholars solve...
Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Population Genetics, Selection, and Evolution
The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that alleles and genotypes remain constant in the absence of evolutionary influences. Scholars complete a simple hands-on activity applying the Hardy-Weinberg principle to sample data. They observe how...
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
Understanding How Diseases Spread
To boost disease prevention, high schoolers arm themselves with information about infectious diseases and how they spread. Scholars research the causes, prevention techniques, and identify high-risk groups especially vulnerable to a...

A Student Exploration of the Global Impacts of Climate Change on Human HealthVector-Borne Diseases
Develop an understanding of how climate change affects humans' health. The class lists what they know about climate change and its connection to disease and then read sections of an article providing specific details on how climate...

Protists: animallike Protists
Students are taught that Malaria and African Sleeping sickness are caused by protists. They discuss how animal-like protists harm other living things. Students discuss and listen to the major phyla of animallike protists. They draw...
