The Immune System- Concept Checklist
The following checklist should be completed as you go through the
learning resources for the Immune System (Chapter 35.) I may ask you
to provide evidence for completing a specific item or task. If you have a
question, or need clarification on a certain concept, please fill out a
post-it note so it can be addressed with the entire class. You should also
be taking your own notes that accompany the learning resources as
