The Immune & Lymphatic Systems Phenomena-Based Lesson: The Lethal Defense: How a Single Peanut Can Collapse the Entire Vascular System in Minutes Presentation | Anatomy & Physiology | Grades 9–12

This is the student-facing slide presentation that introduces the phenomenon, walks the class through observations and driving questions, and frames the evidence students will use for the Phenomena-Based Lesson in the high school Anatomy & Physiology (grades 9–12) chapter The Immune & Lymphatic Systems, built around the phenomenon The Lethal Defense: How a Single Peanut Can Collapse the Entire Vascular System in Minutes. It is sold separately from the other two parts of the set.

Complete the set: The Immune & Lymphatic Systems Phenomena-Based Lesson: The Lethal Defense: How a Single Peanut Can Collapse the Entire Vascular System in Minutes Teacher Discussion Guide; The Immune & Lymphatic Systems Phenomena-Based Lesson: The Lethal Defense: How a Single Peanut Can Collapse the Entire Vascular System in Minutes Student Response Sheet.
