Examine the systems of the human body with a bold, charming, and kid-friendly application. This noteworthy tool is certain to get kids interested what goes on inside of them! The eye feature uses the tablet camera to view images and show...

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...

Students perform an experiment to demonstrate the principles of antibody-antigen binding, the secondary immune response, cross reactivity, and complement fixation. The materials to be used include antibodies from a rabbit that was...

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.

Young scholars examine how the human immune system responds to germs and explain what a fever is. They design a thermometer in order to further explore temperature before completing a temperature conversion worksheet. They detail the...

Students examine organisms that are composed of tissues, organs, and systems. They dissect a fetal pig and explore the assigned organs systems such as the skeletal, muscular, and circulatory organs. Students identify and explain their...

Young scholars 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...

Students cut an apple in half and cover half with plastic wrap. They place drops of liquid on each half and discover how our skin protects us. They answer discussion questions to end the lesson.

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.

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

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

Students investigate personal health issues by discussing germs.  For this contagious disease lesson plan, students identify ways germs infect our bodies and how we can best protect ourselves.  Students discuss food preparation...

Young scholars explore the different blood types, and are introduced to new knowledge through a crime scene simulated activity. They explore the genetics of blood types, and are introduced to immunology/diseases.

Students identify bones off a skeleton during quizzes; assemble disarticulated skeletons; bird, frog and rat. They dissect frogs, remove the muscle tissue, and identify of bones.

Students begin the activity by discussing what they already know about their immune system. In groups, they participate in a true and false game using the facts and myths of HIV/AIDS. They discuss how the disease is affecting their...

Students articulate in written and oral formats that bacteria can be found living everywhere. They explain in written and oral formats why the immune system is necessary. Students are presented with an opportunity to see bacteria alive...

Learners 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...

Middle schoolers examine the different parts of blood.  In this human blood lesson students work in groups and identify parts of blood and construct a model of human blood. 

Seventh graders examine different transplant types and estimate the possible outcomes.  In this biology lesson students discuss donors and transplants then divide into groups and complete a worksheet.

Students study vitamins and who should take them and what ones to take.  In this investigative activity students plan a healthy diet after reviewing the types of supplements.

Learners discuss different ways to spread infectious diseases. In this bioterrorism lesson, students model the rate of smoke emission using CalRoad software. They analyze the effects of airborne release of biological...

Sixth graders will simulate the spread of a virus such as HIV through a population by "sharing" (but not drinking) the water in a plastic cup with several classmates. Although invisible, the water in a few of the cups will already be...
