The drama of the immune system

by Stephanie Chasteen on October 24, 2008

Hey guess what!  Science Teaching Tips was just highlighted in the Websights section of The Physics Teacher.   Woo hoo!

I’ve got a new episode of  the podcast posted – The drama of the immune system. This is one of the favorites of our group at the Teacher Institute, and teachers are always asking Tory to do this little bit of theater.  In this classroom activity, staff educator Tory Brady shows you how to make the immune system into a bit of drama.  This is especially good for K-8 students, to help them understand the roles that each of the main characters in the immune system (macrophages, white blood cells) play.  Heck, I found it helpful to make all that vocabulary into a little story.  Much more memorable.  Enjoy!
