Infectious Disease & Cell Theory Unit

While in my student teaching at Malcom Bridge Middle School, I had the opportunity to create a learning experience for students to explore the concepts of infectious diseases and how they played a role in the discovery of cells. The purpose of this unit was to prepare and introduce students to the concept of microscopic organisms, which they discussed more in depth in the following unit. The other purpose of this unit was to familiarize students with concepts that they would eventually see again in high school biology, creating a base foundation of knowledge.
