Middle School STEM Science Lab/Activity Planner Name of Lab/Activity: Body Systems Board Game California Science Standard(s): Grade: 7 SCI.7.LS.5 The anatomy and physiology of plants and animals illustrate the complementary nature of structure and function. As a basis for understanding this concept: SCI.7.LS.5.b Students know organ systems function because of the contributions of individual organs, tissues, and cells. The failure of any part can affect the entire system. SCI.7.LS.6.j Students know that contractions of the heart generate blood pressure and that heart valves prevent backflow of blood in the circulatory system. Learning Objective/Goal: Students will understand that body systems are interrelated; students will understand the basic workings of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Language Objective/Goal: (based on California Common Core Standards) Anchor Standard: LA.6-8.R.CCR.3 Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of a text. Grade Level Standard: LA.6-8.RST.6-8.3 Follow precisely a multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks. Materials & Resources: Body Systems Game Board, playing pieces, cards, pre-assessment Procedure: Have class complete the Pre-Assessment. Form groups of three to five students. Pass out the game materials. Explain the rules of the game, as students follow along with the instructions (see attached). Let students play the game in their groups. When done, debrief the main concepts. Teaching Notes: Math Connection: Teaching Notes: Allow 5 minutes for the pre-assessment, 10 minutes for explaining the game, 15-20 minutes to play, and 5-10 minutes for the debrief. Technology Extension of Learning: Teaching Notes: http://kidshealth.org/kid/closet/movies/how_the_body_works_interim.html These videos go (contains movies about the body systems) over all the body systems Formative Assessment: (please attach a copy) Teaching Notes: Strategies for EL and Special Needs Students: Vocabulary: This project has been made possible in part by a grant from the Texas Instruments Community Fund, an advised fund of Silicon Valley Community Foundation. 1 Student Pairs, Front load Tier 1 vocabulary (heart, lungs, blood, oxygen, carbon dioxide) Cardiovascular system, respiratory system, oxygen, carbon dioxide, Urea, Kidney Alignment in science unit: (Brief description of lessons taught prior to & after this lab/activity) Body systems covered before, other system interdependence covered after. Brief description of lessons taught after this lab/activity: How other systems work together (Nervous and Integementary, Digestive and Excretory, etc.) Lab/Activity adapted from: (website, textbook, etc.) All new!
