Activity 1B: Gammagauntlet: Fighting Infection
Student teams will race to fight, and ultimately resolve, infections in a human body model by playing out the roles of various immune cells and antibodies, then constructing antigen/antibody complexes.
Objectives:
- Differentiate between non-specific and specific immune responses
- Model the disease fighting process of some major immune cells in the body
- Explain that structure is related to function
- Construct antigen/antibody complexes and understand their basic role in human immune responses
- Model the interaction of the immune subsystems when fighting infection
- Identify strengths and weakness of a simulation
