Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson Plan: Immunology

Subject

Science

Topic

Immunology

Grade/Age Group

Key Stage 3 (approximately ages 11-14)

Objectives

• Students will learn how the immune system protects against pathogens.
• Students will be able to identify the difference between innate and adaptive immunity.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Presentation slides on immunology
• Handouts with diagrams of the immune system
• Chart paper and markers for group activity
• Homework worksheet on immunity concepts

Class Size

National Curriculum Compliance

This lesson aligns with the UK National Curriculum for Science, covering the human body and health, focusing particularly on immune system function.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Immunology	5 min	Briefly introduce the topic and objectives. Ask students what they know about the immune system.
2	Components of the Immune System	10 min	Use presentation slides to explain key components: lymphocytes, antibodies, and the role of pathogens.
3	Innate vs. Adaptive Immunity	7 min	Discuss the differences between innate immunity (non-specific) and adaptive immunity (specific), using examples.
4	Group Activity: Immune Response	5 min	Divide students into groups. Each group creates a diagram on chart paper showing an immune response to a viral infection.
5	Conclusion and Homework	3 min	Recap key points. Distribute the homework worksheet covering today’s lesson. Emphasize that it does not require presentation.

Homework

• Complete a worksheet covering topics discussed in class: components of the immune system and the differences between innate and adaptive immunity.

Assessment

• Review homework worksheets for understanding without requiring students to present in front of the class.

Additional Notes

• Make sure to allow time for any questions at various stages of the lesson.
• Encourage participation and engagement, especially during the group activity.
