This lesson plan has the students explore what India was like before the Aryans came, when they invaded, and what India was/is after. Students are engaged in open discussion with their peers and the teacher over information they research, the video they watch and they also analyze effects of the invasion on India. Fun Fact: Aryans is the group that brought Hinduism to India!

Video clip about the Aryans and history of India

Index cards prepared (see Station 3)

Chart paper

Instructions

Ask students to list ways that religions spread. Write their answers on the board.

Watch the video lesson Significance of Aryan Invasions to India as a class. Pause at 1:01.

Divide students into small groups. Provide each group with a sheet of chart paper. Have each group create a concept map describing the Aryans. Have groups present their map to the rest of the class.

Discuss how Hinduism was spread to India.

Use the lesson's printable worksheet to check for understanding.

Stations

Divide the room into three stations and put your students into three groups. Allow students 15-20 minutes at each station then rotate until all students have completed all stations.

In this lesson, students engage in an online game that students must determine why and how to stop mysterious illnesses. Students participate in role playing and learn about different types of doctors that influence the treatment process of diseases. Students also learn about different types of illnesses and diseases through this lesson plan.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In this lesson plan which is adaptable for grades 5-12, students will use an online game to explore how 3 careers in science are interrelated. During game play, they will determine why a mysterious illness has spread and how to stop it. The role-playing allows students to discover how epidemiologists, microbiologists, and veterinarians work as a team to stop an infectious disease outbreak, root out its causes, and save the local population.

Students will:

1. Apply science process skills by role-playing different careers in the "discovery to control" of a new disease.

2. Describe how and why scientists collaborate in the identification, detection, and treatment of a disease.

Materials:

Computers with internet access for BrainPOP

Preparation:

This lesson plan uses an online science game from Rice University called MedMyst Animal Alert! Through game play, students encounter a mysterious disease that's suddenly infecting people and animals in a tropical region. They must determine why this illness has spread and how to stop it. While role-playing, students will discover how epidemiologists, microbiologists, and veterinarians work as a team to stop this infectious disease outbreak, root out its causes, and save the local population.

There are three game paths students can choose during game play: epidemiologist, microbiologist, and veterinarians. Rice University provides additional learning objectives for each of the three paths .

You can read the synopsis of each path to help you determine how to use the game to support student learning. However, we do NOT recommend providing the synopses to students, as the game is more enjoyable and beneficial when students discover the information themselves as they play.

Before introducing the game to students, we recommend previewing the vocabulary lists. You may also want to download mission logs to help students think about their learning during game play.

Lesson Procedure:

1. Play the Viruses or Vaccines movie for students to activate their prior knowledge.

2. Talk with students about different roles that scientists play in solving problems such as treating outbreaks of viruses. How do they collaborate and work together?

3. Explain that students will get to take on the role of a epidemiologist, microbiologist, and veterinarian and put those ideas to the test! Introduce the MedMyst Animal Alert! game to the class.

4. Allow approximately 45 minutes for students to play all three game paths. You may want to split game time over the course of several days, especially if you want students to complete the mission logs for each one.

5. Have students reflect on how the various roles they played were interdependent. Can they think of other examples of scientists who work together to solve problems? Talk with students about career choices within the field of science and how they support one another's work.

6. You can assess student learning via the BrainPOP game quiz and/or the game quiz created by the game developer, Rice University.

7. Students can research more about topics related to the game using the resources found in Cool Links. Encourage students to share their findings with the class.

Extension Activities:

Visit the Classroom Activities page of the Rice University teacher resources site for MedMyst.

You'll find an activity called "Me As A Scientist", in which students demonstrate their understanding of the scientific inquiry process by following a guided experiment. They will grow bacterial colonies and use a disinfectant of their choice to compare to the school's disinfectant in an attempt to test how these variables affect bacterial growth.

You'll also find an activity called "Design It" which includes a printable and a PowerPoint presentation. In this activity, students use a brainstorming technique to guide them in the scientific method as they design and carry out their own bacterial experiment.

Another goal of Buddhism is to become the greatest person in the world. This teaching is often misunderstood. It does not mean that you are better than everyone else. It means that you are the best person you can be. The famous example that Buddhists use is the story of the ant.

Inoculation (Vaccination): Students can go through the timeline writing down when certain diseases hit where and when the first vaccinations were made. Students can also engage in informative information below the timeline tha gives details about the dates of the timeline and what was going on during that time period.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The story of vaccines did not begin with the first vaccine-Edward Jenner's use of material from cowpox pustules to provide protection against smallpox. Rather, it begins with the long history of infectious disease in humans, and in particular, with early uses of smallpox material to provide immunity to that disease.

Evidence exists that the Chinese employed smallpox inoculation (or variolation, as such use of smallpox material was called) as early as 1000 CE. It was practiced in Africa and Turkey as well, before it spread to Europe and the Americas.

Edward Jenner's innovations, begun with his successful 1796 use of cowpox material to create immunity to smallpox, quickly made the practice widespread. His method underwent medical and technological changes over the next 200 years, and eventually resulted in the eradication of smallpox.

Louis Pasteur's 1885 rabies vaccine was the next to make an impact on human disease. And then, at the dawn of bacteriology, developments rapidly followed. Antitoxins and vaccines against diphtheria, tetanus, anthrax, cholera, plague, typhoid, tuberculosis, and more were developed through the 1930s.

The middle of the 20 th century was an active time for vaccine research and development. Methods for growing viruses in the laboratory led to rapid discoveries and innovations, including the creation of vaccines for polio. Researchers targeted other common childhood diseases such as measles, mumps, and rubella, and vaccines for these diseases reduced the disease burden greatly.

Innovative techniques now drive vaccine research, with recombinant DNA technology and new delivery techniques leading scientists in new directions. Disease targets have expanded, and some vaccine research is beginning to focus on non-infectious conditions such as addiction and allergies.

More than the science behind vaccines, these timelines cover cultural aspects of vaccination as well, from the early harassment of smallpox variolators (see the intimidation of a prominent minister described in the 1721 Boston Smallpox Epidemic entry) to the establishment of vaccination mandates, to the effect of war and social unrest on vaccine-preventable diseases. Edward Jenner, Louis Pasteur, and Maurice Hilleman, pioneers in vaccine development receive particular attention as well.

This timeline category holds nearly all of the entries for the subject-specific timelines. A few of the entries have been left out in order to provide a broad overview.
