7Sc.4: Explain the effects of disease on the major organs and body systems (including infectious diseases such as colds and flu, AIDS, and athlete’s foot and non-infectious diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson’s, and skin cancer).
GROUP ACTIVITY
The students will review the 5 characteristics of Living Things- discuss whether viruses and bacteria are living or not
The students will do a web search, seeing if the viruses have the 5 characteristics of living organisms or not.
IF they have all 5, it is living (Bacteria) or not living (Virus)
The students will draw 2 types of viruses with their lab partner and describe what disease they carry and then 2 types of bacteria and the disease they carry
1) The teacher will review what makes something living
Class Demonstration
2) Explain after inquiry search that viruses are not living- only have 2 of the 5 traits and bacteria are living – have all 5 traits
-made of cells, respond to stimuli, grow and develop, metabolize, evolve and adapt
Question 1-
What kind of diseases do bacteria give you? What about viruses?
Bacteria-cold, infections
Virus-Flu, HIV
Question 2-
Why can’t you kill a virus with antibiotics?
-because a virus isn’t living- you can only “lock it up” and make it dormant but it can always come back
