Complete Unit 3 Assessment using your past lessons below as reference
Standard(s)
HE4.1a - recognize the relationship between healthy behavior and disease prevention
HE4.3a - identify the characteristics of valid health information, products, and services
HE4.3b - list resources from home, school, and community that provide valid health information
HE4.5b - describe the possible consequences of an unhealthy decision and healthy alternatives when making a health-related decision
Essential Question(s)
How do infectious diseases differ from noninfectious diseases?
What are some ways you protect yourself from the sun's harmful rays?
How are viruses and bacteria alike? How are they different?
Which salad would be more likely to spoil, a fruit salad or a potato salad made with mayonnaise? Why?
Why would hosing out the birdbath in your garden every day be a good idea?
What was the earliest point in your life when you developed many of your passive immunities?
How do you think pinkeye got its name?
What are some things you can do to reduce your risk of getting pinkeye?
Why is it important to sear sunscreens even during winter months?
Why must people with insulin-dependent diabetes take insulin every day?
How are asthma and respiratory allergies alike? How are they different?
Big Idea(s)
Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens and can be spread from person to person. Noninfectious diseases result from genetic problems or are caused by behavioral or environmental factors.
You protect yourself from the sun's harmful rays by using sunscreens and wearing protective clothing when working or playing outdoors.
Many viruses and bacteria are pathogens. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria, and unlike bacteria, viruses are not living. Viruses cannot reproduce on their own. They need to use the cells of living things to reproduce.
A potato salad would be more likely to spoil than a fruit salad because pathogens that cause food poisoning grow quickly in dressings that contain eggs.
Water in a birdbath is warm, shallow, dirty, and likely to be filled with pathogens. Cleaning and refilling the birdbath every day lessens the chance that pathogens will grow in the water.
The earliest point in your life when you developed many of your passive immunities was as a developing embryo/fetus in the womb or soon after birth by nursing.
Pinkeye (conjunctivitis) is a bacterial infection that got its name form the most obvious symptom of the disease -- the intense reddening of the sclera of the eye (the whites of your eyes).
To reduce your risk of getting pinkeye (conjunctivitis) you can keep your hands away from your eyes until you can wash your hands with soap and warm water.
It is important to wear sunscreens even during winter months because although it may no be warm outdoors, the sun still gives off harmful rays that can damage the skin.
People with insulin-dependent diabetes must take insulin every day because their bodies do not produce enough insulin to help move sugars in the body to the body's cells. Without insulin, body cells can't get the sugar they need for energy.
Asthma and respiratory allergies are alike in that they are both noninfectious diseases of the respiratory system. Asthma is a disease of the lungs that is characterized by difficulties in breathing. Most respiratory allergies affect only the nose and throat.

---------------------------------------------------
PRE-INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITY
Vocabulary
abstinence - the act of choosing not to use tobacco/nicotine, alcohol, or illegal drugs and actively avoiding behavior that will harm their health
acute - diseases that last only a short time (e.g. cold, flu)
allergy - a noninfectious disease in which a person has a reaction to a certain thing with symptoms like sneezing, itch and watery eyes, a runny nose, or an itchy rash
antibodies - chemicals made by the body that stick to a pathogen and either mark it or destroy it to help fight disease (if the antibodies mark the pathogen, the white blood cells comes and destroys the pathogen)
arthritis - a noninfectious disease in which the body's joints become swollen and painful
asthma - a noninfectious disease that sometimes causes difficulty in breathing
bacteria - one-celled living things that can cause disease
cancer - a noninfectious disease that happens when one kind of cell grows out of control
chronic - diseases that last a long time (e.g. cancer, heart disease)
cilia - small hairs that line the body's air passages to trap pathogens and push them out of the body
contaminated water - water that has dangerous pathogens in it
diabetes - a noninfectious disease in which the body cannot properly use sugar
disease - an illness causing your body not to work normally
immune system - the body system that fights disease
immunity - the body's ability to defend itself against certain kinds of pathogens
infection - the growth of pathogens somewhere in the body
infectious disease - an illness that can be spread from person to person (e.g. colds, flu, COVID-19, chicken pox, pinkeye, strep throat)
mucus - a sticky liquid that coats the body's passageways to trap and destroy pathogens
noninfectious disease - an illness not caused by pathogens, so it cannot be spread from person to person (e.g. allergies, cancer, asthma, diabetes)
pathogen - an organism that causes disease
resistance - the ability of the body to fight pathogens by itself
symptoms - signs or feelings of a disease (e.g. fever, runny nose, cough)
vaccines - substances made to prevent certain diseases
viruses - the smallest pathogens that can cause disease
white blood cells - an important part of the immune system that kills pathogens
OPENING (Engage)
Main Idea
Lesson 1
People get ill with diseases that can be spread from person to person and diseases, that cannot be spread. All people get ill sometimes.
Lesson 2
Infectious diseases are spread by pathogens.
Lesson 3
Your body can protect itself from diseases. You can help protect your body from diseases too.
Lesson 4
Some diseases are not infectious. They can't be spread from person to person.
Lesson 5
Making healthful choices helps reduce disease.
Why Learn This?
Lesson 1
When you understand diseases, it is easier to deal with being ill yourself and to help others who are ill.
Lesson 2
You can use what you learn to reduce the spread of pathogens.
Lesson 3
You can use what you learn to help avoid getting diseases.
Lesson 4
Choices you make can affect whether or not you develop noninfectious diseases.
Lesson 5
You can use what you learn to have a healthful lifestyle.
