  • FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on how unicellular organisms are adapted to carry out functions that in multicellular organisms, are done by different types of cell.
    • We are FOCUSING on the difference between communicable and non-communicable diseases, and the causes of communicable diseases.


    Success Criteria:

    • I can make an opinion on whether I think viruses are living or non-living
    • I can recall examples of viruses that infect humans and other organisms
    • I can discuss the economic impacts of viruses
    • I can explain the difference between a communicable and non-communicable disease.
    • I can distinguish between different types of pathogens, in terms of their features.
    • I can demonstrate the methods of pathogen transmission.


    Activities:

    • Making observations on the bacteria we grew on a Petri dish
    • Discussing examples of different viruses
    • Bacteria, Protist, Virus, and Fungi placemates: Your task is to remember as much information and detail as possible. On returning to your place, you will share the information with your team mates. This continues until data has been collected about all four different types of pathogen.
