Topic 6.7: Response to infection (Edexcel A-level Biology B)

All 4 of the lessons included in this bundle are highly-detailed to enable students to understand the sequence of events that occur during the body’s response to infection. Hours of planning have gone into the lesson PowerPoints and accompanying resources to ensure that the wide variety of tasks motivate and engage the students whilst challenging them to answer exam-style questions that cover the following specification points in topic 6.7 of the Edexcel A-level Biology B specification:

• The mode of action of macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes
• The development of the humoral immune response
• The development of the cell-mediated response
• The role of T and B memory cells in the secondary immune response
• Immunity can be natural, artificial, active or passive
• Vaccination can be used in the control of disease and the development of herd immunity

This can be a difficult topic for students to grasp, so time is taken to go over the key details to ensure that these are emphasised and retained
