There are tons and tons of weird creatures living in us they are known as bacteria and germs.
This week I have been learning about bacteria and germs.
Here is some work I did:

After you have read the book about ‘Germs Up Close’. Answer the following questions below. |
GERMS 
|
Where can germs live?
| Germs can live anywhere. |
There are two processes to take to
see germs. Describe the process they use to see germs. | By microscopes and dye.
|
What are the 4 types of germs that cause illness? | STAPHYLOCOCCUS, STREPTOCOCCUS,
GIARDIA, PLASMODIUM |
How large is a bacteria?
| 31,800 |
Describe the different shapes of a
bacteria.
| Round, hotdog-shaped, wormlike and squiggly |
Explain what good bacteria do.
| They destroy bad bacteria. |

Three types of bacteria are identified. Describe each type by presenting it on one DLO (digital learning object) - Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Drawing,
Screencastify or another DLO that you haven’t used before. Insert the link to your DLO to this question.
|
PROTOZOA 
|
Where is Protozoa likely to be found?
| Dirty water |
How large are Protozoa?
| They are larger than bacteria. |
Who do Protozoa act like?
| Most of them are harmless. |
4.What do they mean by stating that Protozoa are like parasites? | They need to live in or outside a plant or an animal or a human. |
Protozoa come in different shapes and shapes and sizes. Explain more about
their features.
| Some of them are parasites and they can change their bodies into different configs. |

Two types of Protozoa are identified. Describe each type by presenting it on one DLO (digital learning object) - Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Drawing, Screencastify or another DLO that you haven’t used before.
Insert the link to your DLO to this question. |
FUNGI 
|
What locations on your body can you fungus grow?
|
|
Where can the fungi be found?
| On your skin and toes. |
TRUE or FALSE? Fungi are germs that make us sick and other types that help our
bodies keep bad germs off?
| false |

Two types of fungi have been identified. Describe each type by presenting it on one DLO (digital learning object) - Google Docs, Google Slides, Google
Drawing, Screencastify or another DLO that you haven’t used before.
Insert the link to your DLO to this question. |
VIRUSES 
|
Why do scientists consider viruses
weird?
| Because they don't have cells. |
Describe a virus.
| They are normally round and have little antler like things. |

3 types of viruses have been identified. Describe each type by presenting it on one DLO (digital learning object) - Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Drawing, Screencastify or another DLO that you haven’t used before. Insert the link to your DLO to this question.
|

Two types of fungi have been identified. Describe each type by presenting it on one DLO (digital learning object) - Google Docs, Google Slides, Google
Drawing, Screenca.
Insert the link to your DLO to this question. |
GERMS 
|
How do we keep germs far away?
| By not sneezing and washing your hands and drinking clean water. |
How can we fight germs when they get inside of us?
| The immune system does most of the work. |
What are the army cells called in
our bodies that fight off germs?
| White blood cells. |
What role/jobs do these army cells have when fighting off different germs?
| Some eat germs and some poke holes in them. |
Use the information that you have just read about keeping germs far away and
CREATE a DLO Google Docs Google Slides Google Drawing Screencastify or another DLO
To present a poster about the different ways we can protect ourselves from germs.
Click on: TYPES OF TEXT POSTERS AND LEAFLETS Powerpoint - Read through the slides carefully. This will give you guidelines when creating your poster. |

MEET THE GERMS!

Your writing for this week is a variety of writing tools that you will be using related to our learning focus: Meet The Germs! |
The first activity you did with the whole class was brainstorming and listing all the diseases that you would have heard about. This has started your journey to: ‘Meet The Germs’ |
B. List DISEASES I HAVE HEARD OF ... |
Mrs. Ulugia-Pua: HIV, Polio, Chicken Pox, HIV, AIDS, Black Plague, |
Avah: Covid 19,Cancer,Chicken pox, |
Valentino-The Plague,hepatitis b, hepatitis a, hepatitis c, Delta variant, Dephea, |
Rivith - Black death, spanish flu, covid 19, malaria, cholera, covid tongue, covid toe, SARS, measles, polio |
|
Matua August- Cancer, Measles, |
Leipua- delta variant, Kidney disease, Influenza |
Healy - Heart disease, Cancer, Diabetes, Covid 19, |
|
Fatafehi - Measles, |
Edyn - Ebola Virus , Heart disease , CANCER , Strep throat ,Ischemic heart disease , Covid - 19 : ) |
B. Write the definitions of each term in the box. Click on the image to take you to the dictionary link.
|
Bacteria | They are microscopic organisms that play a role inside living things. |
Genetic material | It is our DNA also known as RNA |
Microorganism | They are small things that can not be seen by human eyes. |
Virion | It is a whole virus particle. |
Virology | the scientific study of viruses and of the diseases they cause. |
Virus | a tiny organism that can reproduce only in living cells. |
C. Write in this chart what you have learned about the differences between viruses and bacteria. |
T CHART Difference between VIRUSES and BACTERIA |
Virus | Bacteria |
|
|
D. Watch the two videos about viruses. |

A Virus Attacks a Cell! |
Watch this video. In the text box beside the video, record 5 things you learned from watching the video. |

Click on the image to take you to the video link. |
1. They use their nucleus to open the lung cells. | 2. They trick the lung cells to open up. | 3. When the cell opens the virus sinks into the cell. | 4. They live in human lungs. | 5. They infect cells. |
|
From your list of 5, what is the most interesting piece of information you have learned?
3. When the cell opens the virus sinks into the cell.
|
HOW DO VIRUSES REPRODUCE? |
Watch this video. In the text box beside the video, record 5 things you learned from watching the video. |

Click on the image to take you to the video link. |
They can make copies of themselves.
| They have their own genetic code.
| They can’t make their own protein.
| Cells are like little factories.
| They take over cells.
|
|
From your list of 5, what is the most interesting piece of information you have learned?
2. They have their own genetic code.
|
D. DIAGRAM OF A BACTERIUM (BACTERIA)
Look at the diagram of a bacterium (bacteria) in comparison to a virus. |
DIAGRAM OF A BACTERIUM 
|
Having watched the two videos about a virus, and looking at the diagram of a bacteria. What did you notice is the difference between a virus and a bacteria?
Viruses don't have plasmid DNA and ribosomes.
|
E. TRUE OR FALSE? Indicate which of the following statements are true or false. Use the yellow highlighter on your toolbar to highlight T or F. |
a. All viruses have the same shape. T F b. Viruses can be bigger than bacteria. T F c. Viruses reproduce by taking over cells. T F d. All viruses cause disease. T F e. All viruses are comprised of protein molecules. T F |
F. LIFE CYCLE OF A VIRUS
