Unit 6.2: "The RAD Disease": Investigating and Modeling Body Systems

In this unit, students address the problem of emerging diseases by learning of a fictitious outbreak within their school. As students progress through the unit, they identify the illness, construct explanations about how it affects organ systems and their subsystems, and design an informational campaign to prevent a future outbreak.

Unit Challenge Questions: How do germs make us sick?; How do we keep sicknesses from spreading?
