Students examine the role of the immune system in the human body. They conduct a hand-washing experiment, answer questions while viewing videos, discuss key vocabulary, draw and label illustrations, and observe demonstrations and record...

Bacteria get more resistant to antibiotics every year. Learn the reason for this pattern and how scientists are addressing the problem in a six-week unit. Learners analyze different types of bacteria and their adaptations.

Students explore the hidden world of microbes and how our bodies spring into action in response to diseases. This ten lesson unit presents data on several microbial diseases and the reaction of the body's immune system.

Explore human anatomy and physiology using models. Scholars study systems of the human body and design a display for a museum exhibit. To complete the activity, individuals create analogous models of their chosen human body systems.

Slideshow with embedded video and audio explains our immune system and how it works. Includes a worksheet handout.

With these learning exercises, students explain the advantages of the human adaptive immune response over the innate immune response including the types of T cells, development, and their functions.

Students learn about the development of immunological competence, and find out about the human body's immune response.

An interactive, self-guided lesson on the function of the human immune system and how medical intervention prevents disease. This lesson has many descriptive animations as well as graphs and diagrams to help with understanding. There is...

This section is about how the immune system goes wrong. When it goes haywire, and becomes too weak or too strong, it leads to a state of disease. The factors that maintain immunological homeostasis are complex and incompletely understood.

Students use this module to learn about the barrier defenses and the immune defense functions of the human body.
