8c microbes and disease

8A Food and digestion
8b respiration
8D ecological relationships
    Here are the learning objectives for this topic:

    I can
    ·        Name the three types of microbes
    ·        Explain why a virus is not a microorganism
    ·        Label diagrams of bacteria, viruses and fungi
    ·        Name diseases caused by each type of microbe

    I understand
    ·        How we use bacteria to make methane, in sewage works etc.
    ·        How we use fungi in bread, beer, Quorn etc.
    ·        When antibiotics are used
    ·        Methods of food preservation such as canning, freezing, drying etc.
    ·        How diseases can be passed from one person to another
    ·        The bodies’ first line of defense
    ·        How the white blood cells fight infection inside our bodies
    ·        How vaccination/immunization works

    useful microbes websites

    Revise disease with Bitesize.

    Try the Bitesize disease activity.

    Test your knowledge with the Bitesize quiz,

    Doc Brown´s 8C Quiz.

    Have a look forward to IGCSE in the B5 Transport Unit

    take a look at this microbes prezi

    learn about the history of microbiology with this prezi (difficult!)

    WHAT DO Neutrophils (phagocytes) do?
