It is important to know whether a disease is
Communicable (able to spread from one
person to another), or Non-communicable
(not transmissible from person to person).
In your journal, copy down the listed
diseases. Then place a (C) next to it if you
think it’s Communicable or an (N) for Noncommunicable.
*Extra credit: Tell what pathogen or life style
factor is responsible for the disease listed.

Objective: 1) Gain insight into the difference between communicable and noncommunicable diseases. 2) Awareness of the cause and effect relationship between
various life style factors and the conditions they cause.
Activity: The student will copy the different diseases listed, in their journal. They
will then write a C for communicable or an N for non-communicable behind each
of the diseases. Lastly, they should try to identify which pathogen, in the case of
communicable, or life style factor, for non-communicable, causes each of the
diseases.
Process: 1) The teacher will click through each of the slides, reading the
information and instruction to the students. 2. On each slide that lists the various
diseases the teacher should give the students 3-5 minutes to copy the diseases and
carry out the activity before proceeding to the answers on the next slide.
