Primary Science: Immune System
Primary Science worksheets on the topic of immune system designed for Primary School students. A basic passage with questions at the end to answer, testing the students comprehension levels.
The immune system protects our body from pathogens that make us sick like viruses and bacteria. It is made up of cells, organs, and tissues that team up to fight against these bad things.
Our immune system is the reason why we don’t always get sick! We are exposed to millions of germs every day, so we need to make sure our immune system is strong enough to fight off the infections.
Our body remembers how to fight infections if the same germ attacks. The older we get, the more germs our body is protected against.

Basic Tips
When teaching a new concept to a student, make it as visual as possible. Concepts become more comprehensible. A standard lesson should follow this basic structure:
- Introduction: gather what knowledge the students have on the topic. Assess and evaluate your level to base how much assistance they require throughout the lesson
- Concept: teaching the actual topic of the lesson. Highlight the difficulty the students are having and apply the appropriate action. For example, if they do not understand the meaning of a word, get them to highlight it for further studying in the future.
- Evaluation: conclude the lesson by getting the students to feedback what you have taught. Ensure they comprehend the topic and know the main points.
Build the confidence level of students through active participation. Encourage projects for them to do what they have learnt into practical use. The more engaging the lesson is, the better the result.
Project Ideas
Projects are a great way to showcase the knowledge students have gained through the lesson. It is a challenge for them and it allows them to be creative. Set an easy task for students to complete but gives them the freedom to expand it. Projects can be done independently or in groups. Teachers have the opportunity to enhance other key skills like social when assigning projects.
Students can do the following project ideas:
- Informative poster – how to have a healthy immune system
- Diary recording of your daily routine and compare with others
