Immune system

Science fair countdown: 10 days!

This week's periodic table elements: 1-42 plus the nine additional common elements.  (See previous blog post if it's a head scratcher.)

This week we're studying the immune system, starting on p. 370. 

Vocabulary includes:

lymphatic system, lymph, lymph nodes, tonsils, thymus, spleen,  allergen, antibiotics,  active immunity, passive immunity,  white blood cells, macrophages, t-cells, b-cells, antigens, antibodies. 

Don't just" know what these mean"; listen in class, think and seek to make sense of how they work together. 

Also:  the lymphatic system is your body's secondary line of defense.  What's the first?
