Physiology Unit:Human Body System Lesson Plan and Activity

2013-2014

What’s Going on Today?Standards 9 and 10

Objective• Explain how your body

maintains homeostasis

Catalyst Answer on a separate sheet of paper.

1. Define homeostasis.2. Identify 2 body systems

that help maintain homeostasis. Explain each body system’s role.

Ms. Carter

Homeostasis and Feedback Loops

• Homeostasis: is the ability to maintain a constant internal environment in response to environmental changes

What is homeostasis?

Let’s See what Tim and Moby Have to Say…

• Keep the following ideas in mind:– Conditions in the outside world change, do the conditions

in your body change? Give an example.– Thermoregulation is…– Thermoregulation works by…– Feedback systems are…– Negative feedback means…– Positive feedback rarely occurs. What is an an example

when positive feedback would occur?

WHAT IS A FEEDBACK MECHANISM???

• A feedback mechanism is a process where the product or result of an activity modifies the factors that produce that product.

• There are over 1000 feedback loops in the human body. Each loop effects others and is effected by others. There are positive and negative feedback loops in the body.

Soooo….. Who ate breakfast this morning?

If you ate this morning…• Insulin levels are higher. In your bloodstream you had

elevated levels of glucose. You were out of homeostasis and into hyperglycemia.

• Your blood went to your pancreas where glucose receptors on Beta cells reacted to elevated glucose levels by putting insulin into the blood stream.

• The Insulin in their blood stream caused glucose to be transported to muscle and fat cells for storage.

• This caused a decrease in blood sugar. • This is an example of a negative feedback cycle which is the

most common in the human body.

Day 1 Homeostasis Helping Trio

Day 2 Project Overview

• Purpose: To explore how the various organ systems in the body help to maintain homeostasis, and present your findings to your classmates in a professional manner.

• Description: In groups of two or three, you and your partner(s) will learn about one of the organ systems in our bodies. You will become experts on your individual system by researching and learning about the structure and function of this system as well as the associated vocabulary. You will then be required to develop and teach a lesson with an accompanying activity that helps them learn about your system.

Lesson/Presentation (PowerPoint, Prezi)þ Activity (Word Sort, Foldable, Color and

Label)þ 5 Multiple Choice Qsþ Works Cited

Get Ready to Take Notes

• Get a sheet of paper to take notes on how to PLAN AN AWESOME LESSON to be a GREAT TEACHER

Components of a Lesson

1. Objective2. Key vocabulary (10-15 words)3. Checks for Understanding4. Notes5. Practice Activity6. Assessment (10 Test Questions)

Objective

• SWBAT explain the different components of a lesson plan by having group/classroom discussion– What skills are the students practicing• Explain

– How are they going to perform that skill• Group/Classroom Discussion

Key Vocabulary

• How do you think you should choose the vocabulary words for your lesson?

• Why do teachers create vocabulary words?• Why are vocabulary words important?

Checks for Understanding

• Example: Turn to your partner and explain the importance of having vocabulary words.

- Why do we need to have check for understanding questions during a lesson?

- Why are check for understanding questions important?

Lecture/Notes

• Should be 5-10 slides• No longer than 15 minutes• Simple bullet points

Practice Activity

• Word sort• Foldable• Color and label • ** If you present to me a better idea- then

upon approval I may allow you to do a different activity**

Important Dates• Your project is due: May 18, 2014 by 5:00 PM• Your presentations will be from: 5/19/2014-5/23/20141. Nervous (M/T) 6. Respiratory (W)2. Endocrine (M/T) 7. Immune (TH/F)3. Skeletal (M/T) 8. Digestive (TH/F)4. Muscular (M/T) 9. Excretory (TH/F)5. Circulatory (W)

Day 2 What’s Going On

• Research Your Body System• Complete Body Systems Informational Graphic

Organizer– Delegate who is responsible for each part• Write down what you will work on AND who will be

working on that particular task

• Homework: Complete Research; Must have 3 sources and a Works Cited Page

Day 3 What’s Going On

• Begin Lesson Plan• Complete Human Body Systems Planning

Template• Delegate who is responsible for each part

– Write down what you will work on AND who will be working on that particular task

Day 4 What’s Going On

• Begin Creating Lecture/Presentation• Delegate who is responsible for each part

– Write down what you will work on AND who will be working on that particular task

Lecture/Presentation

• 15-20 minutes • Title: Body System • Labeled Image of your body system• An explanation of the FUNCTION of your body system• A list of major organs in your body system and each of

their functions. Include a description of how they work together.

• 1 disease or disorder associated with your body system and it’s causes, effects, and treatment.

• Explain how your body system works with other systems to maintain homeostasis. Include 3 examples

• Any Specifics for your System

Day 5 What’s Going On

• Finalize Lecture/Presentation• Create Activity to accompany Lesson– Delegate who is responsible for each part

– Write down what you will work on AND who will be working on that particular task

• Your activity needs to be 1 of the 3– Word sort– Foldable– Color and label – ** If you present to me a better idea- then upon

approval I may allow you to do a different activity**

Lesson Activity

• 15-20 minutes • Needs to relate to the material taught by YOU• Needs to include clear and concise directions

so students can do without your guidance• Make it fun/interesting!

**** EACH ACTIVITY NEEDS TO HAVE AN ANSWER KEY GIVEN TO THE TEACHER*****
