Overview: Students will learn about the various types of diseases humans are subject to and will
learn how to classify them, distinguish them from each other, and what kinds of precautions can be
taken to prevent some of them. Upon completion of this unit, students will have examined various
diseases and determined their causes in order to become more informed health advocates for
themselves and others.
Objectives:
1. Learn the differences between viral, bacterial and fungal diseases and toxins.
2. Consider a worldwide perspective of the different types of diseases as well as some of the
implications of biological warfare.
3. Research precautions that can be taken to prevent certain types of diseases and analyze how
some pathogens become antibiotic resistant.
Materials:
1. Access to computers and Gale Student Resources in Context database.
2. Scoring rubric handout
3. A slideshow program for presenting projects
Time Frame: 3-4 class periods
Vocabulary: Students should be familiar with the following terms: viral, bacterial, fungal, venomous,
systemic, toxicity.
Procedures:
Day 1 – Different classes of microorganisms
1. Develop student awareness of everyday threat of illness by having them partner read:
2. Build background knowledge by having students refer to The Gale Encyclopedia of Science to
define the characteristics of a virus and related diseases; a bacterium and related diseases,
and a fungus and related diseases.
Day 2 – Beneficial microorganisms
1. Have students read newspaper article from The Telegraph Online, June 4, 2014 about how we are
making our lives too sterile.
2. Have students listen to audio: Thriving Gut Bacteria Linked To Good Health."
3. Have students do a Student Resources in Context search for “Beneficial Microorganisms” and
choose one article to summarize and share in small groups.
Exit card for the day:
1. What country do you think the Telegraph Online newspaper article is from and why?
2. How are some organisms beneficial? Give specific examples from what you read or heard
today.
Day 3 – Diagnosis and Prevention
-
Molecular approaches to infectious disease assays Medical Laboratory Observer,
January 2014
o Who is the author of this magazine article? Who do you think his audience is? Give
examples of the vocabulary he uses to support your answer.
o What are some of the obstacles in diagnosing bacterial and fungal pathogens?
- Discuss disease prevention & watch 2 video clips:
- Discuss worldwide implication of biological weapons & what is being done to prevent such an
occurrence.
Day 4 Student Independent Research on an Assigned Disease (projects and assessment)
1. Assign each student a disease to research and present their findings to the class using a slide
show. Students need to take notes on each presentation and note pathogen classification,
symptoms and treatment.
2. Presentations will be scored using presentation rubric
3. Summative assessment will be mystery disease stations that students must diagnose correctly
and suggest treatment citing specific information from classmates’ presentations.
a. Students must also design a diagnostic flow chart (see example)
4. Middle School Project: Develop a public service announcement for disease prevention for an
assigned disease.
5. Middle School Project: Extract DNA from spinach (see website & watch YoutTube demo)
