Understanding how different diseases affect humans is therefore something that can prove beneficial to students, even at the high school level. My summer laboratory research experience through The American Association of Immunologists High School Teachers Summer Research Program in Immunology provided me with an increased understanding of functioning of specific immune cells. The research focused on the metabolic responses of certain cells when exposed to different types of viruses, and inspired me to create a curriculum for high school students which would introduce them to parts of the immune system and how they will react and interact as a result of exposure to disease. The unit that I created focused on discussion, lecture, and review to introduce complex topics to high school junior and senior students. I took the opportunity not just to teach the students concepts of immunology, but to also introduce students to different ways to organize and approach difficult material in order to better prepare them for future academic challenges. Students performed WebQuest assignments and completed paper-based labs in order to familiarize themselves with the various parts of the immune response. The unit ended with students learning about screening for HIV using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) simulation. The goal of the unit is to not only provide students with basic knowledge of the functioning of the immune system, but to also introduce them to specific immune responses for different types of stimulation of immune response as well as how diseases are tested for in the medical community, as well as prepare them for future science classes. I used many resources in order to put together the information that
