PowerPoint Differentiated Unit 4 Week 1 Group C Mr. Smet’s Scientific Studies

 This Power Point presentation has been made to walk you through the worksheet. It will answer a short number of the questions from your packet but also go through the key points of answering the other questions with examples.  Work with urgency! How this works

Section 1 Pre-Presentation

Section 2 Background Information #2  In Malaria, a parasite called Plasmodium falciparum infects humans and enters their bloodstream through mosquitos.  While inside the body, the parasite multiplies in the liver and is picked up by later mosquito bites to infect even more humans later on.

Section 3 Learning through Games

Section 3 Learning through Game #1  During this section, you will be playing the roles of both mosquito and parasite to learn about how the parasitic relationship between Plasmodium falciparum happens.  You will be clicking on a link in the next slide that will take you to two games. You will use the information from these games to answer the questions.
