Our Group’s Body System ____________________ Core __________ Human Body Systems In this unit we will explore six systems of the body: nervous, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, skin, and urinary. Students will be divided into five groups which will each be responsible for one organ system. You will research that system and plan how you would best teach about it to the class. You will then teach it. Each group will have only three days to research and plan and one day to teach the class about their system, so activities must be chosen carefully to get all the necessary information to the other students. Your science teacher will model the format for this activity using the urinary system. Information that must be included in your lesson includes: the overall job of the system, the organs of the system, major vocabulary that needs to be learned, and processes that take place in the system. For your lesson, each group will need to have: 1. A journal prompt to start class and get students thinking about what they already know about the system. 2. A way to get information about the system such as a Smart document or PowerPoint presentation. A diagram of the organ system must be part of the information shared with the other students. It should also include information about the levels of life and how your system fits in with them. 3. An activity that involves students in learning about how the system works. 4. A reflection to check for student understanding. Good resources for information include the following websites: http://www.stcms.si.edu/hbs/hbs_student.htm This links to many other sites with great information on each system. http://www.kidskonnect.com/subject-index/31-health/337-human-body.html Lots of information on the systems here and through links. http://www.kidinfo.com/health/human_body.html http://kids-learn.org/susansilverman/systems/index.htm http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_body/ www.brainpop.com (Username: wcms Password: wayzata) Textbook pages about the body systems: Respiratory (E37-43), Digestive (E45-50), Urinary (E52-55), Circulatory (E65-71), Skin (E83-88), Nervous (E101-107) Student Roles B= Before lesson D= During lesson Group Facilitator – Makes sure everyone is on-task and has work ready ___________________________ B-Complete daily checklist to connect with group members B-Keep track of tasks to ensure even distribution of work B-Time Management – make sure group members have parts of the lesson ready B-Organize a group meeting at the beginning and end of each class period Document Facilitator – Outlines the lesson, gets copies and hands them out _______________________ B-Storyboard B-Google Document B-Complete lesson outline B-Create list of materials needed (copies, lab supplies, etc.) D-Pass out materials during the lesson Introduction – leads journal and discussion, goes over learning target ____________________________ B-Research body system information B-Develop a thought-provoking question or activity D-Starts class with the journal activity D-Goes over the lesson learning targets Content Facilitator – Creates, gives instructions and leads direct instruction _______________________ B-Research body system information B-Synthesizes the entire groups research into a powerpoint or smartboard doc.
