Introduction

My name is John M. Adamovich and I teach Health Education for New Haven Public Schools. Upon choosing a topic of research for my unit I wanted to choose a topic which the student have a tough time understanding the concepts. Ultimately I want the students to truly understand the concepts while creating projects, which require higher order of thinking. Ultimately I chose the topic of where diseases come from and how can a person prevent them. The information research will relate greatly with vaccines, medicines, as well as communicable and non-communicable diseases. The unit that I teach during this marking period is classified as anatomy and physiology. Within this part of the course students will discover the many facets of structure and function of the human body. Each of the body systems is a sub unit within this unit. The unit covering the immune system would be the section where most students will hear of vaccines for the first time.
