This resource is a unit plan about infectious diseases. Khan Academy describes the unit as, "There's an intricate dance between humans, viruses, bacteria, molds, and even tiny worms! They want to survive and replicate just like humans do... and this is why they cause infections. From the flu to HIV, we’ll explore the underlying mechanisms that these creepy crawlies use to reproduce and spread."
The unit explains the different types of infectious diseases, how they are transmitted, and how vaccines could prevent the disease. This resource could be used to educate students on personal values and beliefs on individual health practices and behaviors
This alignment results from the ALEX Health/PE COS Resource Alignment Summit.
