Tenth graders research the development and use of vaccines. They examine historical documents for qualitative observations and the basis of immunization. They examine primary and secondary immune responses as they relate to the...

Become an immunologist for the day. Scholars elicit the use of the enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) to diagnose an infectious disease. Through the process, they learn about the immune system response to infectious diseases.

Student discuss the effect of HIV on the immune system. In this human body lesson, students research the immune system and how the HIV virus weakens it. They create a bulletin board showing how HIV is transmitted. 

In this blood worksheet, students review what makes up blood: plasma, platelets, and red and white blood cells. Students also learn how the blood helps fight viruses, bacteria, and other foreign substances. This worksheet has 10 fill in...

Students study the immune system. In this biology lesson plan, students explore illustrations that show how viruses can appear as foreign invaders in the blood. Students also role play how the immune system responds to a virus.

Blood types and transfusions are explained in reading passages at the top of the worksheet. A chart of blood type compatibility is also provided. Biology students answer comprehension questions and then exercise critical-thinking skills...

Uncover the fascinating world of vaccines in a multifaceted activity. Investigators explore community perception and the science of vaccines with eight tasks. Scientists continue their studies by giving and reviewing surveys, analyzing...

Students explore the importance of molecular shape and charge in molecular-recognition. They examine the interaction between antigens and antibodies. Students design and build 3-D visual models to represent molecular-recognition...

Students examine antigens including ones found in humans.  In this immune lesson students complete several experiments in relation to antigens and antibodies.

In this infectious disease defense worksheet, students will review the immune system including acquired, antibody, and cellular immunity. Students will then compare passive and active immunity to infectious diseases. This worksheet has...

Students examine the roles of the immune system in keeping the body healthy. They see how engineers contribute to this process by creating antibiotics, and vaccinations. They discuss how an astronauts' immune system may be suppressed...

Students study and research drug-resistant bacteria and the use of antibiotics. Through the use of the internet, and other resources, students gather information and create a board game. They discuss bacteria, antibodies, antibiotics...

Students examine vaccinations and how they work.  In this vaccinations lesson students create posters that describe the various types of vaccines. 

Fifth graders inspect the basic functions of the immune system and determine how viruses and bacteria invade the immune system. They also explore what happens to the immune system in outer space.

In this blood learning exercise, students complete a crossword puzzle given 24 clues about the components of the blood, the cells of the blood and the immune system with its antigens and antibodies found in the blood.

Students explore disease caused by bacteria and viruses, how they are transmitted, and how they exert their effects on their hosts. They explain how diseases, such as AIDS, are spread by exponential growth.

In this germ-learning exercise, students answer 10 questions about the immune system, how it fights germs, how to prevent germs from spreading, and antigens and antibodies.

Students distinguish between the light and heavy chain sections. In this biology lesson, students simulate the DNA splicing process. They calculate antibody diversity using the information given.

Students study the different facets of the Human immune system, including the functions of all the different organs in the immune system.

Play Jeopardy as you review what might possibly be an entire year's high school biology course! The vast variety of questions requires that you read through the slides to make sure that they all relate to your curriculum. You could make...

Young scholars study immune responses and the structures that are related to immune cells functions.  For this fighting infection lesson students construct antibody complexes and model the interaction of the immune system when it is...

Students develop an experiment to test a hypothesis. They use their knowledge of antigen-antibody specificity to develop a hypothesis. Students articulate that the antibody-antigen specificity is one part of the immune system. They...

In this noncommunicable diseases worksheet, students determine which diseases are not caused by pathogens and where a tumor is located. Then they describe a chronic disease that has a faulty immune system. Students also identify what...

Students play a game of tag and reinforce their understanding of the immune system.
