______ Read Page 930-936 in Biology Owl book and define bold terms (Circulation System)
______ Conduct an experiment that contains activity variables and their effect on the heart rate and
respiration. Do a complete lab write up with your experiment. Must have your problem
approved before you begin. Do this with a partner. Use students in the class as your test
subjects.
______ After completing your experiment fill out an “Experiment Follow Up” sheet.
______ Use the frozen heart to make a sketch of the heart and label any visible parts. No more than
four people to the heart at a time. Draw the path of blood through the heart. Use the Anatomy
book page ??? , and the vocab you did in the Owl book to help you label fill in the layers of
the heart. Sign up on the board at the beginning of the period. 15 min per group with the heart.
______ Study a heart model with a friend and sign this sheet off for each other when your partner can

show the differences and similarities in use and function as well as structure)
_____ Define the four main components of Blood (Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Plasma, and
Platelets). (Owl Book) Observe a slide of Human Blood and draw what you observe. Observe
a Blood slide of someone with Sickle cell Anemia. Draw what you observe and make written

that changes the rate of your heart beat (pulse). (A weekend is Friday, Saturday and Sunday.)
______ Using the Owl book as one of your resources (pg. 73-75), create a model of a cell membrane.
It can be temporary and out of Playdoh or clay, or can be drawn or a 3-D model. Label the

membrane allows some particles through, and restricts the entry of others (form fitting
function). Be sure to explain why there are 2 layers, and what type of substances can go in and
out of the cell (no need to cite specific substances except water, sugars, salt and large proteins).
Label the following: Phospholipid bi-layer, peripheral proteins, integral protein, steroids, and
carbohydrate.
_____ Using the following interactive web site sketch and label a kidney with the following parts and
next to each part write the function. Follow the web site through the kidney. When you come

filters it out. For each of the substances write a brief description of what happens to the
substance, whether it goes out in the urine or back in the body and why (water, urea, protein,
