Grade 11 Life Sciences Lesson PlansGRADE 11 SUBJECT Life Sciences WEEK Week 2 TOPIC Protists and Fungi - Diseases LESSON Lesson 3LESSON SUMMARY FOR: DATE STARTED:LESSON OBJECTIVESDATE COMPLETED:Content: (p11 Assessment Syllabus)PROTISTS AND FUNGIDiseases• Describe the symptoms and management in South Africa of malaria.• Discuss the effects and management of athlete’s footThe learners will be able to:• Describe the cause and effects of malaria in South Africa• Discuss the effects and management of athlete’s footTEACHER ACTIVITIES LEARNER ACTIVITIES TIMING RESOURCES NEEDED1. Whole class discussion, group work to plan and create a radio advert1.1 Introduction• Ask learners if there is anyone in the class who knows someone who hashad malaria. Ifthere is a learner ask them to describe he symptoms, treatment andwhere the person wasprobably infected.• If no-one knows of anyone with malaria, then ask the learners who hastaken anti malariatablets, where they were travelling to? How long did they take the tabletsfor etc?2.2 Main Body (Lesson presentation)• Learners need to understand the following terms:• Vector: a secondary host or carrier for parasites which require two hoststo complete their life cycles.• Parasite: an organism which invades a host cell / organism, causing harmto the host, but benefiting from the relationship.• Endo parasite: a parasite which is found inside the host.• Ectoparasite: a parasite which is found outside the host.Whole class discussion1.Learners write downdefinitions in their notebooks5 min5 minReference:• Solutions for all Life Sciences Grade 11 pp. 30 - 38• Oxford Successful Life Sciences Grade 11 pp.17 - 19• Internet resources on diseases caused by fungihttp://www.fungi4schools.org/Documentation/03World-of-Fungi/WF05_Fungi_and_Disease.pdf• Learners need to be made aware that the Anopheles mosquito is avector for the parasite Plasmodium, which is a protist• it is the Plasmodium which causes malaria.• If a mosquito is not infected with the Plasmodium bites you, you will notget malaria.20 minTerm 1 Page 14© Gauteng Department of Education (CAPS version)
Grade 11 Life Sciences Lesson Plans• The Plasmodium needs the Anopheles mosquito as a vector.• Have learners write down the following in their notebook:• Malaria kills millions of people throughout the world• Symptoms of the disease include flu-like symptoms of chills, high fever,shivering and sweating, headaches and vomiting up to two weeks afterbeing bitten by the infected mosquito• In severe cases, convulsions can occur and if the liver and spleen areinfected the person becomes jaundiced• As red blood cells rupture the person becomes anaemic• The infected red blood cells can cause blockages in the blood vessels ofmajor organs and eventually cause death• Treatment for malaria includes using drugs such as chloroquine tointerrupt the parasite’s life cycle• A traditional malaria remedy involves using the herb sweet wormwoodwhich grows mainly in the mountains of South East Asia• Managing the disease includes vector control programmes personalprotection measures such as insect repellents and the use ofpreventative medicines such as quinine• Another disease caused by a micro-organism is caused by a fungus• Athlete’s foot produces a red rash between the toes• Fine filamentous fungi invade the skin if the environment is moist andwarm such as between the toes• Sometimes the skin may crack and bleed if untreated and the rash mayspread to the soles of the feet or the palms of the hand• Athlete’s food may be treated with anti-fungal creams• Wearing shoes that allow the skin to breathe (leather shoes) and thickcotton socks helps keep the skin drier and cooler so that the fungus willnot grow• Learners should complete a table that lists the four types of microorganisms,the effects of each disease they cause and the managementof these diseases10 min5 min2.3 Conclusion• Learners should be aware that although many micro-organisms arebeneficial in ecosystems , there are many that are pathogenic• Re-emphasise diseases that each group of micro – organisms may causeTerm 1 Page 15© Gauteng Department of Education (CAPS version)
