State standards: 12A Students who meet the standard know and apply concepts that explain how living things function, adapt, and change.
4. Apply scientific inquiries or technological designs to compare taxonomic criteria among organisms, examining unicellular,
colonial, and multi-cellular organisms for common and differing characteristics.
12B Students who meet the standard know and apply concepts that describe how living things interact with each other and with their
environment
Understanding(s): Students will understand that… Essential Question(s): What provocative questions will foster -­‐Viruses share common structure inquiry, understanding, and transfer of learning? -­‐Viral structure is related to how they cause disease (Why might it important for a doctor to know if a disease is caused -­‐Personal behavior and choices can affect their health by a virus, bacteria, fungus, plant, toxin, etc….) -­‐Bacteria has positive and negative roles How does the structure of bacteria and viruses allow them to be pathogenic?
