HIV/AIDS

Learning Intention:

Students will be able to determine how HIV compromises the immune system, eventually leading to AIDS without treatment

Success Criteria:

Describe the relationship between HIV and AIDS
Explain why someone with AIDS is susceptible to other diseases
Critique my peers work and identify areas where they can improve.
Apply my knowledge of the immune system to practice questions.

Standards:

Reminders:

Exam Thursday March 7th

Warm-Up

(5 min)

Question #1

Question #2

Question #3

Student Response #1

The HIV vaccine contains the HIV pathogen. The body makes antibodies that are the correct shape, so that the next time the person gets an HIV infection it won't be as bad.

Student Response #2

Vaccinations are a weakened pathogen. The body responds to the vaccine by making antibodies with the correct shape. The next time the pathogen enters the body, the immune system will already have antibodies made to quickly fight it.

Student Response #3

The mother did not get sick with the measles because she already had the measles in the past.

Part 1:

Vaccine Review

(2 min)

Take-Away:

Vaccinations create long-term immunity to specific pathogens.

A vaccine is a weakened pathogen.
When you get a vaccine, your white blood cells begin producing antibodies to it. Special white blood cells (memory cells) remember the antigen on the vaccine pathogen so next time you get the actual pathogen, you will already have a defense to it.

Part 5

Stop n' Jot

(3 min)

HIV

Human Immunodeficiency Virus - The virus that causes AIDS.

AIDS

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Disease where the immune system has been weakened. The final stage of an HIV infection.

Key Concept:

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus weakens the immune systems ability to fight pathogens. Overtime this leads to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome which is the last stage of HIV infection. When someone has AIDS, their immune system is so weak any infection can cause death.
