Concept 10: Organisms have a variety of mechanisms to combat disease. As a basis for understanding
the human immune response: |
|
Standard c: Students know how vaccination protects an individual from infectious diseases. |
|
Standard d: Students know there are important differences between bacteria and viruses with
respect to their requirements for growth and replication, the body’s primary
defenses against bacterial and viral infections, and effective treatments of these
infections. |
|
Standard e: Students know why an individual with a compromised immune system (for
example, a person with AIDS) may be unable to fight off and survive infections
by microorganisms that are usually benign. |
|
Standard f: Students know the roles of phagocytes, B-lymphocytes, and T-lymphocytes in the
immune system. |

Content Standard A: Science as Inquiry:
As a result of activities in grades 9-12, all students should develop
|
|
Ability/ Concept : Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry |
|
Detail : RECOGNIZE AND ANALYZE ALTERNATIVE EXPLANATIONS AND MODELS. This aspect of the standard emphasizes the critical abilities of analyzing an argument by reviewing current scientific understanding, weighing the evidence, and examining the logic so as to decide which explanations and models are best. In other words, although there may be several plausible explanations, they do not all have equal weight. Students should be able to use scientific criteria to find the preferred explanations.
|
|
Detail : COMMUNICATE AND DEFEND A SCIENTIFIC ARGUMENT. Students in school science programs should develop the abilities associated with accurate and effective communication. These include writing and following procedures, expressing concepts, reviewing information, summarizing data, using language appropriately, developing diagrams and charts, explaining statistical analysis, speaking clearly and logically, constructing a reasoned argument, and responding appropriately to critical comments |
