Learning Sequence
At the Carpet:
Learning goal:TSW identify that there are different systems within the body and that they work independently and together to form a functioning human body.
TSW will identify the 6 main systems of the human body by working on an interactive online human body
Learning Sequence:
TSW will watch Brain Pop Human Body:
TSW will watch Bill NYe Bones & Muscles on Safari Montage as an intro...
Questions about familiar body systems can be useful in getting students to start thinking about systems in general. This process can initiate the understanding that each organ affects and is affected by others. Hold up an apple (or some other healthy snack). Ask students:
- What am I holding in my hand?
- If I were going to eat this apple, what parts of my body would I use?
Have students discuss the body parts we use when biting, chewing, swallowing, and digesting an apple. You may want to create a chart on the blackboard or a large sheet of paper to record students' ideas. If so, you can use these categories to help you organize the information:
- Body Parts for Biting
- Body Parts for Chewing
- Body Parts for Swallowing
- Body Parts for Digesting
Now ask students:
- How do the different parts work together? (Each part plays a special role, so once one task is accomplished, then the next part can perform it's role.)
- What happens if one of the parts is missing? (For example, if the teeth were missing, then it would be difficult if not impossible to chew some foods, and if one couldn't chew something large to get it small enough to pass through the esophagus, then they could choke.)
Continue to guide student understanding of systems by asking:
- Who remembers what it's called when a number of different parts work together to make something happen or function? (Guide students so that they come up with system as an answer.)
- Can you think of an example of a system? (Some possible examples are a bicycle, a computer, a school, or a bus.)
- For the system you picked, write down any parts that belong to that system. (For example, some parts that are necessary for a bicycle are two wheels, gears, brakes, foot pedals, and handles.)
- The student will go to the student link today to see the interactive body and the skeletal system.
