CELL BIOLOGY: WORLD HEALTH

Over-arching Issue: How should we assist developing countries face public health
challenges from preventable disease? What are the social,
economic, and environmental trade-offs?
Understanding the mechanisms of a disease is essential to our ability to prevent, eradicate, or cure them. In
this unit, students examine several diseases and their social, environmental, and economic consequences. They
learn about the mechanism of these diseases at the cellular level and investigate the structures and functions of
normal cells and the processes that occur inside these cells. At the end of the unit, they make recommendations
for how best to allocate limited funding to address world health problems.
Core Science Content: Structure and function of animal and plant cells, cell specialization, basic biochemistry,
disease-causing microbes
Key Assessment Task: “Describe how you think the limited funds from the foundation should best be distributed
among the proposals. For example, should all of the proposals receive equal funding, should all of the proposals
receive some funding but with some getting more than others, or should one or two receive all of the funding?
Explain the evidence and reasoning for your decision, and discuss the trade-offs of your decision.” Supports
elements of NGSS Performance Expectations: ETS1-1, ETS1-3, LS1-1, LS1-2, LS1-4, LS1-5, LS1-6, LS1-7, LS3-2 (for full
