Average rating:4.8Number of reviews:(50)
One of a series of classes on the main topics of biology, this hour will deal with "germs" (pathogens), how infectious diseases are spread, and the disease process.
Class experience
In this one hour class, the following information will be presented: the different types of pathogens and their characteristics; common ways infectious diseases are spread; immunization/vaccination and immunity; common diseases in the United States, their symptoms and treatments. Familiar animal and plant diseases will be mentioned if time allows. An activity to demonstrate how easily germs can spread will be included. The course will be taught by discussion/lecture, PowerPoint presentation,...
The students will be able to define infectious disease and give examples of how they are caused and spread. Students will be able to discuss the need for vaccinations/immunizations and how "herd immunity" works. Students will be able to list common diseases, their symptoms and how they can be prevented.
I am a certified Pennsylvania biology/science teacher with 35 years of classroom experience.
All needed written materials will be provided and should be printed out before class begins. Any color of washable marker will be needed to participate in the activity.
