Grade 8: Advanced Biology - Quarter 3
In this lesson, students become "Virus Detectives" as they investigate how viruses enter the body, reproduce , spread from one person to another, and cause disease. Using videos, case studies, concept maps, group investigations, and transmission simulations, students discover how scientific knowledge can help break the chain of infection.
Students explore the world of viruses by examining diseases such as dengue, measles, hepatitis, influenza, HIV/AIDS, and COVID-19. They analyze evidence from real-life cases, identify modes of transmission, and recommend appropriate prevention strategies. The lesson emphasizes critical thinking, scientific reasoning, health awareness, and formative assessments
