Epidemic!
(sidenote your disease may really be a pandemic..gasp)
LT:
I can support with evidence how the body is a system of subsystems working together.
Task: Research your chosen disease to find evidence on the following items:




BACTERIA or VIRUS
Which organ system(s) are affected with this disease?
How does the disease spread?
What is/was the global impact?
Epidemic or Pandemic
What is the difference between a pandemic and an epidemic?

Why is it important to know the difference between these terms?

Day 1: Bacteria vs. Virus
What really is the difference between these nemeses (fancy term for bad guys)? Why can we treat bacteria but not a virus?
Which one is living which one is not living?
Complete the table below. Check whether these diseases are caused by a bacteria or a virus. Try to find an image of the bacteria
or virus and draw a model of it.
Bacteria
Both
Virus
If you can treat a disease caused by bacteria but not a virus……are viruses living? Provide 3 reasons why you think a virus
could be living or not living.

Check…..did you include evidence if not…..go and fix it!
Day 2: Your Disease and the body
We all know when one is sick it can impact the entire body and affect others in different ways. Your
job now is to research the symptoms of your disease and create a diagram using a blank body to show
the different areas that the disease impact.
Disease: Zika Virus
Symptoms
Fever
Area(s) of the body impacted
Muscle and joint pain
Malaise (discomfort/pain)
Headache
Skin Rash
Conjunctivitis (eye infection)
Check off which organ systems the disease impacts:

Using the evidence you have gathered, label on the body where the symptoms occur.
Using the evidence you have gathered, explain this statement:
The body is a system of subsystems (organ systems) interacting together as one whole unit. When
one system is impacted the whole body feels the affects.

Day 3: Global Impact
Using the blank world map below. Indicate (show) where Zika has occurred. If it has happened many
times through history use different colors to show the years so you can draw conclusions.
Key:
Is the Zika virus a pandemic or an epidemic? Provide evidence for your reasoning.

Final Piece: Pandemic PSA (Public Service Announcement)
Your next task is to create a PSA poster informing people about the following information:

Name of your Disease
Caused by bacteria or virus
How the disease im
Main location of the Epidemic
Symptoms of the Disease
Body Systems Impacted
How the disease spreads
Ways to prevent the disease from spreading
PSA Rubric
Progressing
Accomplished
Students explains the
difference between bacteria and
viruses.
Students explains how the
body’s organ systems are
affected
Students explains how the
disease impacted the body as
whole
Students explains how disease
can spread from person to
person and throughout the body
