Proteins & Enzymes Phenomena-Based Lesson: Infectious Conformational Propagation of Misfolded Prion Proteins in Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy Presentation | Chemistry II | 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 Chemistry II (grades 9–12) chapter Proteins & Enzymes, built around the phenomenon Infectious Conformational Propagation of Misfolded Prion Proteins in Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy. It is sold separately from the other two parts of the set.

• What's inside: Student Slide Show (editable .pptx + PDF, 22 slides).
• Resource type: Phenomena-Based Lesson – Presentation. Format: editable Microsoft PowerPoint file plus a ready-to-print PDF.

Classroom use: Open with the phenomenon slide show, let students record ideas on the response sheet, and lead the discussion with the teacher guide. Built for Chemistry II, grades 9–12.

Sample question“How can an infectious disease propagate and kill an organism purely through a physical change in protein folding without any genetic material?”
