Additional Educational Information (metadata)

Subject/Coverage:

Secondary Science and Environmental Education

Learning Objective:

Learners …
• develop basic (or deeper) overview of the cells of the immune system (structure knowledge, mental modelling)
• investigate on model level the interplay between the different cells of immune response (mental modelling)
• construct a process diagram to visualize the complex network of immune response (structure knowledge)

Context/Target Audience:

Secundary School

Educational Description:

Working in (expert) groups, discussing and telling, creating together a classroom poster, using own devices to observe animations and note own insights, in-class and international cooparative / collaborative learning situation

Assessment Methods:

Teacher moderates group phases, Results in tables or IWB, Results as mind maps or concept maps, Teacher observation

Rights:

No Derivatives

Connection/Relation:

Lesson 5 of 8 in this Unit of work, Learning Object 1a of this lesson

Keywords:

Immune system, immune response, blood cell, white blood cell, non-specific response, specific response, granulocyte, basophil granulocyte, neutrophil granulocyte, eosinophil granulocyte, myelotic progenitor, mast cell, stem cell, lymphoid progenitor

Development of Skills:

Pupils use micro-modules to develop an overview of the immune cells, that are part of the immune system and respectively the immune response. As they are informed of the various cells, they can suspect in discussions, what function the different cells have and exchange their knowledge.
In a second step, students use the micro-module as part of a classroom activity on tablets or desktop computers. The task is to draw a “process diagram” (see graphic of Prisma) that visualizes the interdependence of the different steps of immune response (international exchange should, again, be possible).
To foster grammar school level another micro-module can be used, that deals with antibody-antigen-representation on cell membrans. On this level, teachers can discuss recognitions signals and activation processes.
