Immunization Teacher Resources

Students study Britain's rabies law then share their own personal pet stories with the class.

In this word search worksheet, students search for terms related to infection control and community health. Words include infectious agents and other health terms.

Young scholars describe the characteristics of anthrax infections, distinguish between the three anthrax forms and analyze the effectiveness of anthrax vaccinations. They relate anthrax to bioterrorism.

Tenth graders explore the different health risks associated with human papillomavirus. In this health science lesson, 10th graders identify different ways to prevent viral and bacterial infection. They research and develop an awareness...

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.

Students study how being exposed to a harmful microbe doesn't automatically make them ill. They discover the lines of defense against microbe invaders and explore the roles of skin and mucus membranes, white blood cells, and lymphocytes...

The human organism is the subject of this PowerPoint. It recaps some of the major facts about human genome, systems, life processes, and different progressions that have been made in science and medicine through the years.  

Part two begins right where part one left off: discussing the potential for infections from microbes. Treatment of diseases is covered as well as the steps taken to prevent infection. New bacteria and viruses continue to develop, but not...

Thanks to chytrid fungus, the list of endangered and extinct amphibians has grown by around 200 species. The video details how the fungus attacks frogs, specifically the yellow-legged mountain frogs in California. It then offers hope...

You are under attack! Every second of your life bacteria, viruses, and more attempt to enter your body. The video explains your immune system and the extremes your body goes through to keep you alive.

Does a protein or DNA store genetic instructions for life? Follow the research from the 1920's experiments on mice through the 1940's experiments on bacteria to learn the answer to the difficult question. Scholars use an online...

Students explore disease and its relationship to history and literature. They investigate issues that range from early biological warfare and historical disease treatments, to observing today's race for the cure against current emerging...

In this life cycle worksheet, 9th graders complete 3 different procedures that distinguish viruses and bacteria and inherited characteristics. First, they read the background excerpt given about bacteria and viruses. Then, students cut...

Young scholars compare bacteria to viruses to find the differences. In this biology lesson plan, students research viruses they have been inoculated against, using the Internet. Young scholars complete a graphic organizer of their...

Students conduct a series of exploration activity on how vaccines and antibodies work. In this biology lesson, students test how antigens and antibodies work in the body. They discuss the benefits of vaccines in promoting immune responses.

Various aspects about the impact of biotechnology in our everyday lives, and many examples of its application are given in these slides. Designed with multiple fonts, the style should be appealing to youth.

Students explore the importance of vaccines in fighting childhood disease.  For this health lesson, students play a game to model how vaccines protect against the spread of infectious disease. Students play a tag based game in which...

Students investigate pet health. For this dog care lesson, students develop knowledge on how to care for a dog. Students discuss what is needed to keep a dog happy and healthy. Students label pictures of of a dog's visit to the vet.

High schoolers investigate diseases and epidemics from a biological and social perspective. They analyze the management of disease, use and misuse of antibiotics and vaccinations, and development of new treatments.

Twelfth graders study the history, progression and current uses for vaccines in the prevention of disease. They simulate an epidemic and experiment with pathogens.

Students study the history of the Iditarod sled dog race. They research facts related to biology, sled dogs, and geography in order to put that history in perspective.

Students explore the basic process of natural selection and how people can manipulate that process today. The consequences of natural selection on daily life and the implications of evolutionary biology in basic and applied science is...

Students discuss the steps the American government has taken in order to protect every U.S. citizen from a bioterrorist attack and how a vaccine works. After discussion, students can create six vaccines in their own virtual laboratory.

Students examine where, why, how and in what conditions HIV/AIDS exists. They examine the deadly impact this virus has had on the world and look at how to prevent the spread at home. The students also develop a greater awareness of the...
