Year 11 Biology: Infectious Diseases

The lesson plan aims to teach students about infectious disease transmission through various engaging activities over 90 minutes. Students will first participate in introductory activities using materials like glitter glue and balls to demonstrate different transmission methods. They will then learn the six main transmission methods through an interactive PowerPoint presentation, video, and class discussion. As a pair activity, students will research an infectious disease of their choice, noting the pathogen, transmission method, prevalence, presence in Australia, and available vaccine. The lesson uses a variety of teaching strategies like warm-up quizzes, group work, and multimedia to provide an inclusive learning experience about this important health topic.
