White blood cells (WBCs), also known as leukocytes, are an important part of the immune system. They help the body fight off infections and foreign invaders.

Types of White Blood Cells

There are several types of white blood cells, including:

Neutrophils
Lymphocytes
Monocytes
Eosinophils
Basophils

Functions of White Blood Cells

White blood cells play a crucial role in the immune response. They can engulf and destroy pathogens, produce antibodies, and regulate the body's immune response.

Nature of Science

The Practice of Science - A: Scientific inquiry is a multifaceted activity; The processes of science include the formulation of scientifically investigable questions, construction of investigations into those questions, the collection of appropriate data, the evaluation of the meaning of those data, and the communication of this evaluation. B: The processes of science frequently do not correspond to the traditional portrayal of ''the scientific method.'' C: Scientific argumentation is a necessary part of scientific inquiry and plays an important role in the generation and validation of scientific knowledge. D: Scientific knowledge is based on observation and inference; it is important to recognize that these are very different things. Not only does science require creativity in its methods and processes, but also in its questions and explanations.

Define a problem based on a specific body of knowledge, for example: biology, chemistry, physics, and earth/space science, and do the following:

Use tools to gather, analyze, and interpret data (this includes the use of measurement in metric and other systems, and also the generation and interpretation of graphical representations of data, including data tables and graphs)
