Mrs. Salvi Agenda for February 9, 2015

Science 6:• Objective: The student knows the parts and functions of the endocrine

system. The student knows that feedback mechanisms within systems serve to keep changes within specified limits.

• Engage: Question of the day? How is the endocrine system like the nervous system? (Formative assessment)

• Explore: Match the glands with the function• Explain: glands produce hormones secreted directly into the blood.

hormones control body functions. Biofeedback loop sends information about the body's balance back and forth from one part of the body to another. Positive and negative loops

• Elaborate: Create a biofeedback loop showing how body temperature is regulated

• Evaluate: Biofeedback loop (Summative Assessment)
