LESSON CONTENT
Lesson Plan Template: General Lesson Plan
Learning Objectives: What should students know and be able to do as a result of this lesson?
Students will be able to:
1. identify the major organs of the circulatory system, such as, heart, blood vessels (veins, arteries, and capillaries) and blood.
2. identify that the heart is a muscle with four cavities and four valves by drawing the heart and labeling the parts of the heart.
3. identify the parts and function of the blood.
4. identify the blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries).
5. describe how oxygenated and deoxygenated blood travels through the heart and body by labeling the direction of flow in and out of the heart and throughout the
body.
6. identify the major parts of the respiratory system: alveoli, bronchi, lungs, trachea, esophagus and mouth.
7. describe how the respiratory system receives oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide.
8. describe how organs of the circulatory system interact with the respiratory system to maintain homeostasis.
Prior Knowledge: What prior knowledge should students have for this lesson?
SC.6.L.14.1 Describe and identify patterns in the hierarchical organization of organisms from atoms to molecules and cells to tissues to organs to organ systems to
organisms.
Guiding Questions: What are the guiding questions for this lesson?
1. What is the role of the circulatory system in the human body?
page 1 of 3 2. What are the major organs of the circulatory system?
3. What is the role of the respiratory system in the human body?
4. What are the major organs of the respiratory system?
5. How do the circulatory system and the respiratory system work together to maintain homeostasis?
Teaching Phase: How will the teacher present the concept or skill to students?
The Circulatory and Respiratory Systems PowerPoint is used to guide students in completing the requirements of the Lab and Close Activity in the students' Science
Interactive Notebooks. A PDF is provided to explain why teachers should use Science Interactive Notebooks and assist students with the set-up of their notebooks.
Guided Practice: What activities or exercises will the students complete with teacher guidance?
1. Students will complete the Lab Activity #1: Are you pulsating? (Circulatory System). This is included in the PowerPoint presentation.
2. Students will complete the Lab Activity #2: Lung Capacity (Respiratory System). This is also included in the PowerPoint presentation.
3. Students will complete the activities in the attached handout to be pasted in their Science Interactive Notebooks.
Independent Practice: What activities or exercises will students complete to reinforce the concepts and skills developed in the
lesson?
Students will rotate through computer stations, a student on-line networking program, a reading station, Smartboard station, and a heart diagram review.
Computer Station:
Circulatory System Facts: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/circulatory-system-facts.html
Human Circulatory System: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/human-circulatory-system.html
The Air We Breathe: http://forces.si.edu/atmosphere/02_01_02.html
Respiratory System Fact:s http://www.buzzle.com/articles/respiratory-system-facts.html
Reading Station: Use a classroom textbook.
Closure: How will the teacher assist students in organizing the knowledge gained in the lesson?
Ticket out the door #1: What are the major organs of the circulatory system?
Ticket out the door #2: What are the major organs of the respiratory system?
These questions can be written on the board or projected on the screen.
Summative Assessment
Quick Write: Reflection questions
What is the major organ of the circulatory system?
What is the major organ of the respiratory system?
How do the circulatory and respiratory systems work together to maintain homeostasis?
Students are required to defend their answers with a text narrative or illustration. This will be done in the Science Interactive Notebooks.
A rubric has been provided to evaluate student performance throughout the lesson plan.
Formative Assessment
The teacher will gather information about student understanding throughout the lesson by walking through, and checking the Science Interactive Notebook. By the end
of the lesson, students will have completed all of the questions posed in the PowerPoint presentation, the reflection lab, and the cloze activity, and glued them into
their Science Interactive Notebooks.
Quick lab included in the PowerPoint: Are you pulsating?
Students answer the questions and fill in the chart, then attach them to their Science Interactive Notebooks.
If you have access to a student on-line networking program, a smartboard, or a computer, students can review the PowerPoint if needed.
Students fill in the close activity correctly.
Students color and label the heart diagram correctly.
Ticket Out the Door: What are the major organs circulatory system?
Ticket Out the Door: What are the major organs respiratory system?
Feedback to Students
Students will get feedback about their performance and understanding during the lesson as teacher walks through the class giving positive reinforcement, verbal
praise, and/or a sticker or stamp in the student's Science Interactive Notebook. A PDF is provided to explain why teachers should use Science Interactive Notebooks
and assist students with the set-up of their notebooks.
ACCOMMODATIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
Accommodations:
ESE/ESL students will be allowed to turn in modified assignments.
Assign cooperative grouping/pairs as needed.
The teacher will monitor student progress and provide additional instruction as needed.
Extensions:
Students can search the following websites for more information during computer station time.
Circulatory System Facts http://www.buzzle.com/articles/circulatory-system-facts.html
Human Circulatory System http://www.buzzle.com/articles/human-circulatory-system.html
The Air We Breathe http://forces.si.edu/atmosphere/02_01_02.html
Respiratory System Facts http://www.buzzle.com/articles/respiratory-system-facts.html
Students can investigate medical conditions that arise when major organs of the circulatory and/or respiratory system are notfunctioning well.
