Instruction (How will the students develop the knowledge and /practice the skills?.)
Duration Activity/Task
Introduction (How will you engage and motivate the students?)
5 MIN - Review concepts discussed in the previous class – i.e. circulatory system components,
blood vessels, components of blood
- Introduce the topic of the day’s lesson – “The Heart” and provide notes for students to
complete throughout the lesson
Lesson Steps (Describe the sequence of the lesson.)
- Discuss the function of the heart
o 3 main functions – pumping blood, keeping blood separate, and keep blood
flowing in one direction
- Label the different parts of the heart (atrium, ventricles, the valves etc.) while
1 and ½ days explaining the pathway of blood flow through the heart
- Demonstrate the pathway of blood flow through the heart with the use of different
coloured arrows (blue for deoxygenated, red for oxygenated) and words
- Watch YouTube video – “Flow through the Heart: Circulatory System Physiology”
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XaftdE_h60)
- Discuss the necessity of coronary arteries
- Examine the events during one heartbeat (the cardiac cycle) through words and images
Conclusion (How will you wrap-up the lesson?)
- Students will put their books away and get into groups of two
20 MIN o Each group will get a diagram of a heart outline
o Their task is to draw the pathway of blood flow through the heart to the body
and lungs with different coloured markers (blue and red) and label the heart to
the best of their memory
o To demonstrate what they know and what they need to improve upon
- After task is completed, students will be given homework question to review their
knowledge of the heart
