Instructional Ideas

  • Assign the resource as homework so students can prepare for the next day's lesson
  • Have the class make small flow charts of the processes that occur when immune cells are activated

Classroom Considerations

  • Learners should be somewhat aware of basic immunity terms such as antibody, antigen, and types of immunity

Pros

  • Resource is very self-contained, making it a good choice for a sub plan
  • Video segments are short but very informative

Cons

  • None
