Students learn about the IMMUNE SYSTEM (sometimes called the lymphatic system) as they move through 10 stations. Engaging student-led independent work!

This activity is designed to DIRECTLY TEACH the immune system but is great as a review, as well! Each station includes a 1-page station with easy-to-digest information about aspects of the immune system, bright and clear illustrations, and interesting facts. Extra stations about pathogens and how vaccines work are also included.

EASY PREP or GO PAPERLESS!
