    This science lesson plan focuses on the role of blood in defending the body against disease. It is a 1-hour lesson for a Form 4 class on the topic of transport in man. Students will learn about how white blood cells like phagocytes and lymphocytes help fight pathogens. They will also learn about how blood clotting prevents microorganisms from entering the bloodstream. The lesson involves students working in groups to explore these concepts through examples and role plays. They will then explain their understanding to the class and self-assess their learning through questioning each other.

    CONCEPT OR PRINCIPLE
    1

    White blood cells are of utmost importance in the defense of the body against disease. Two types of
    white blood cells include phagocytes and lymphocytes which engulf bacteria and produce antibodies to
    fight off specific antigens respectively. Additionally platelets play an important role in blood clotting
    which prevent pathogens from entering the blood. If white blood cells were not present the body would
    be infested with pathogens and we would not survive.
    SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
    At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

    Classification

    Explain how white blood cells work to defend the


    body against disease.

    Understand( Cognitive)

    Describe how blood clots to prevent entry on


    microorganisms

    Remember (Cognitive)

    Apply the knowledge of immunity to situations

    Apply (Cognitive)

    PROCESS SKILLS
    During this lesson, students will be engaged in:
    Identifying / formulating a problem
    Designing and Planning an experimental procedure
    Setting-up and executing experimental work

    Observing and measuring

    Recording of data and observations


    Interpreting and evaluating data and observations

    Communicating scientific ideas, observations and arguments

    Applying scientific ideas and methods to solve qualitative and quantitative problems

    Decision-making based on examination of evidence and arguments

    Extracting from available information data relevant to a particular situation

    ACTIVITIES
    Model: Constructivist Inquiry model, Information processing, Social interaction
    Strategies: 5 E, concept attainment, group work
    (T= Teacher) (S= Student/s)
    Engagement:
    T asks S how their body can defend against disease
    S reply with the first line of defense and white blood cells
    T tells S the following situation: When Kayla was a baby she got Measles, 20 years later she is going to
    Africa to volunteer in a childrens clinic where there is a Measles outbreak. Do you think that Kayla
    needs to be worried about getting Measles?
    Exploration :
    T puts S into groups
    T provides students with handouts with pictures on the basic functions of the white blood cells.
    T asks S to come up with possible explanations for their answers
    Explanation
    T explains how phagocytes and lymphocytes work to defend against disease.
    T briefly talks about blood clotting
    T explains the engagement question including role of memory cells
    T explains immunity primary and secondary response, types of immunity wit examples
    Elaboration
    T asks students what would happen if she stepped on a rusty nail.
    T asks students to explain what happens from the time the pathogen enters the blood to when symptoms
    may occur. What should be done in a situation like this? This was done using a role play.
    Evaluation
    Students are asked question orally.
    Student self-assessment
    - Students are asked in their groups to come up with two questions based on the lesson for the other
    groups to answer.
