Cell Recognition and Immune System A level biology

This is a lesson I used myself to teach the cell recognition and immunity concept of unit 2 cells - a level biology, AQA specification.

Learning objective: Analyse the pathway of immune response, compare passive and active immunity and evaluate the structure of an antibody.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:

Success Criteria:

Identify the different components of an immune response.

Describe the process of active immunity.

Explain why antibody structure leads to its success in eliminating pathogens.

The lesson is broken to be split across 2 teaching periods (1 hr each)
The first lesson is outlined above. The second furthers the learning to first infection and second infection in terms of antibodies in the system, explaining this and exploring herd immunity.

Contains past paper questions that target this topic, some questions require knowledge from prior lessons.

Powerpoint contains 29 slides and 9 past paper questions.

A lesson plan is also attached outlining how I would teach the lesson.
