High School

Below are the two lessons to teach to your students.
Remember to give the pre-assessment before you get started!

Students gather information online to explore differences between viruses and cells, and to learn about the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. This information is both recent and developing, and it helps illustrate to students that science involves ongoing discovery of new information. Note that the objectives meet two of the TEKS objectives for high school biology.

What Are Vaccines?

And, How Do They Work?

Students learn how vaccines work and how they are made by viewing two short videos and answering questions that promote critical thinking related to vaccines and the immune system. Student discussion is guided through a slide presentation provided by the teacher.
