Week 11: 10/19-10/23
Don’t forget that Digestive System Stories are due on Monday for a project grade. This week we are learning about the circulatory and respiratory systems. We will have two labs this week and a test on Friday covering the Digestive, Circulatory, and Respiratory systems.
Unit: Human Body-Circulatory and Respiratory systems
Standards: S7L2d, S7L2e
IB Connections: Human Ingenuity; Health & Social Education; Approaches to Learning
International Baccalaureate: Health & Social Education; Human Ingenuity
Objectives:
- Identify the levels of organization in the body
- Define homeostasis
- Explain the functions of the cardiovascular system
- Describe the functions and structure of the heart
- Sequence the path taken by blood through the cardiovascular system
- Describe the functions and structures of the arteries, capillaries and veins
- Describe the components of blood
- Explain what determines the type of blood a person can receive in a transfusion
- Name the structures and functions of the lymphatic system
- Identify some diseases of the cardiovascular system
- Describe the functions of the respiratory system
- Identify the structures that air passes through as it travels to the lungs
- Describe what happens during gas exchange and breathing
Essential questions:
- What are the levels of organization in the body?
- What is homeostasis?
- How do the systems of the body relate to one another?
Higher Level Questioning:
- How might blood travel through the cardiovascular system?
- What are some materials that the cardiovascular system delivers throughout the body?
- What chambers of the heart contain oxygenated blood? Deoxygenated blood?
- How might the circulatory and lymphatic systems be related?
- What happens during gas exchange and breathing?
- What is the path that air takes during respiration?

Monday- Students will take notes on the circulatory system using the Circulation notes ppt and circulation note sheetcomplete a lab called “heart as a pump.”
Homework for Monday- Read pages 515-521 and answer questions 1-3 on page 521
Tuesday- After discussing our lab from yesterday and going over homework, students will take notes on the heart and color and complete a heart diagram to show the flow of blood. They will then work as a class to complete a virtual heart transplant!

Thursday- Students will take notes on the Respiratory system using their respiratory note sheet and the Respiration ppt and will work on a diagram of the respiratory system.
Homework for Thursday- Study for Test on Digestive, Circulatory, and Respiratory Systems. For extra credit on your test, complete the Chapter reviews on pages 529-530 & 557-558.
Friday- After reviewing our CRCT questions from last night’s homework, students will take a 30 question test on the Digestive, Circulatory, and Respiratory systems. INB check on pages 55-60: 500 points.
Homework for Friday- NONE
