The Nature of Disease
In this disease worksheet, high schoolers read information about infectious diseases, how they are transmitted, and how they are treated. Students then complete 6 fill in the blank questions.
Curated OER
Operation Anitbody
Students identify the types of cells that are important in the immune system. They investigate the different mechanisms used by white blood cells as they protect the body from foreign invaders. Students are given five case studies,...

A Pox No Longer Upon Us
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 They examine historical documents for qualitative observations and the basis of immunization.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...
Curated OER
Teaching Multiple Alleles
Students view a simple ABO blood system for the introduction of this subject using concrete models of eythrocytes (red blood cells, or RBC's), antigens, and antibodies. They can physically see the antigens that result from certain...
Curated OER
Fighting Back!
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.

Antigens versus Antibodies "KO'd in Round Three" The Third Line of Defense of the Human Immune System
Seventh graders investigate antibodies, as the body's third line of defense against disease. They discover why antibodies do not defend the body against viruses and create a pantomime of the antibody/antigen/HIV relationship.
Curated OER
Blood Typing Subunit
Students play the role of science detectives in an activity used to introduce the scientific method and the concept that blood is not identical and is identified by surface markers. Students must identify an unknown sample of "blood" by...

Antibodies and Antigens: Fitting Together
Using basic matching, aspiring biologists connect types of antigens with the antibodies that fight them. Provide ample instruction prior to assigning this one-sheet resource. Require students to explain in writing how each antibody works...
Curated OER
Using Blood Tests to Identify Babies and Criminals
Young scholars solve a crime by matching a suspect's blood type to physical evidence collected at the crime scene. In this forensic science lesson plan, students identify the different blood types. They explain how blood tests work.
Curated OER
Antigens
Students examine antigens including ones found in humans. For this immune lesson students complete several experiments in relation to antigens and antibodies.
Curated OER
Internal Systems and Regulation
For this internal systems and regulation worksheet, students correctly decide if given statements are true or false. Students apply information learned about the circulatory system to the given statements to determine statements of truth...
Curated OER
Blood: Transport and Protection
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...

Anatomy and Physiology Study Questions on Immunology
In this anatomy and physiology study question worksheet, students define 20 terms related to the immune system. They answer 19 short answer questions that deal with immunology, autoimmune diseases, and the components and cells related to...
Curated OER
Your Immune System
In this immune system activity, students describe an antibody and how it functions. Then they determine sources of passive immunity and how HIV affects the immune system. Students also name defenses that the digestive system has against...
Curated OER
Outbreak!
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...
Curated OER
Molecular Recognition and the Immune Response
Young scholars 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...
Curated OER
Multiple Alleles
Young scholars observe models of the ABO blood system including erythrocytes, antigens, and antibodies. They investigate the antigens that result from certain allele combinations and move antibodies to determine whether agglutination ...
Curated OER
Life in a Blood Vessel
Students explain the various activities that are constantly going on in a blood cell by role playing a blood cell, antibody, pathogen, and platelets.
Curated OER
The Genetics of Antibody Diversity
Students distinguish between the light and heavy chain sections. For this biology lesson, students simulate the DNA splicing process. They calculate antibody diversity using the information given.
