Primary: Body Defences (Immunity)

Comments (0)

Produced by the Health Protection Agency, this e-Bug resource helps students to look at the different ways the body defends itself against harmful infections. Extensive teacher guidance and stimulus materials help to cover topics including:
• How the skin forms a barrier that prevents microbes entering the body
• How white blood cells eat microbes inside the body
• How antibodies, produced by white blood cells, fight infections.

Some of these materials are suitable for more able children.
