Lernwerkstatt Immunologie

This workbook is aimed at secondary school pupils, especially those in years 7 to 10, and offers an exciting journey through the world of evolution and human biology. With a wealth of informative texts and matching tasks, it encourages students to engage with important biological topics and deepens their understanding through targeted exercises. The copy templates are ideal for use in self-organised learning or in station-based lessons and offer an easy way of self-testing thanks to the enclosed solutions.

Special attention is paid to the immune system, which is understood to be a key factor in human evolution. This highly complex defence system protects the body from pathogens and harmful germs and thus forms an essential basis for human health and survival.

The teaching material offers a comprehensive insight into the structure and function of the immune system and covers key topics such as how the immune system recognises and combats diseases. The varied tasks encourage pupils not only to repeat the content taught, but also to explore the links between the various processes independently. In this respect, the workbook encourages independent research on the Internet or in encyclopaedias, which strengthens critical thinking and the ability to analyse complex relationships.

Theory is presented in a tangible and practical way through vivid illustrations and concrete examples from everyday life, such as the clinical picture of pollen allergies. This gives pupils a lively insight into how the immune system works and teaches them how evolutionary mechanisms protect their bodies from illness on a daily basis. In addition, the self-monitoring tasks help to check the success of the learning process and.
