GENERAL INFORMATION
Title
Looking out for my community - Vaccines development and the science that responds to hesitancy
Description
The main goal of this unit is to promote students’ understanding on the relationships between infectious diseases and microbes, the human defence mechanisms against pathogens, and the impact that infectious diseases had and still have on societies and public health, and how to prevent infections. Another goal of this unit is to promote high-order thinking skills, communication and collaboration skills and critical health literacy. The unit begins by engaging the students by presenting the impact of infectious diseases from historical and current perspective. It continues with introduction to microbes, the different protective natural barriers that the human body has against microbes, the role of immune system, immunity, and vaccines. At the end of the unit, students will use their new knowledge of infectious diseases, microbes, and vaccines to make an inquiry-based investigation on a socioscientific topic: Should a low efficacy vaccine be released to the public? A socioscientific topic related to microbes and vaccine provides the scenario for the inquiry-based question of this unit related to the learning topic Vaccines development and the science that responds to hesitancy.
