Lesson Plan for Unit 8 - Immunology
Grade: 7 | Content Area: Science | Course Name: Life Science |
Learning Targets:
- I can compare and contrast viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protists and can also describe how they affect the human body.
- I can recognize that a microorganism can cause specific diseases and I can explain how vaccines can prevent those diseases.
- I can recognize that the human immune system protects against microscopic organisms and foreign substances that enter from outside the body and against some cancer cells that arise from within.
- I can recognize that vaccines build the body’s immunity to a disease without actually causing the disease itself.

8.1 | 1-2 days | I can describe various types of pathogens and list common infectious diseases they cause. I can explain how infectious diseases can be prevented. | 8.1 Lesson - Infectious Disease 8.1 Infectious Disease Lesson 1 8.1 Infectious Disease Lesson 2 |
8.2 | 1-2 days | I can describe various noninfectious diseases, including cancer, and their possible causes. | 8.2 Lesson - Noninfectious Disease 8.2 Artistic Representation of a Noninfectious Disease |
8.3 | 1-2 days | I can describe the body’s first line of defense against pathogens. I can explain how inflammation can help protect against pathogens. | 8.3 Lesson - First Two Lines of Defense 8.3 How has your body protected you? |
8.4 | 2-4 days | I can describe the functions of tissues and organs of the immune system. I can explain how lymphocytes respond to pathogens. I can explain immunity and how vaccinations can help boost immunity. | 8.4 Lesson - Immune System Defenses |
