Animal Parts And Function Lesson Plan for 12th Grade Example Students

Topic: Animal Parts and Function

Objectives & Outcomes

• Identify the different parts of the human body and their functions.
• Explain how the human body regulates physiological activities.
• Discuss a certain disorder caused by not maintaining an internal condition in the body; value the importance of maintaining steady internal conditions in the body.

Materials

• Human anatomy diagrams or models
• Handouts with information about different parts of the body and their functions
• Examples of disorders caused by not maintaining an internal condition in the body

Warm-up

• Start the lesson by showing the students a human anatomy diagram or a model and ask them to identify the different parts of the human body.
• Then, ask the students to share any knowledge they have about the functions of the different body parts.

Direct Instruction

• Review the functions of the different body parts on the diagram or model.
• Discuss how the human body works to maintain steady internal conditions through various physiological processes, such as breathing, blood circulation, and digestion.
• Explain how a certain disorder can occur when the body is not able to maintain these internal conditions, e.g. when a person has low blood pressure, it can lead to dizziness and fainting.

Guided Practice

• Divide the class into small groups.
• Give each group a worksheet with a list of body parts and functions.
• Have the groups work together to fill in the blank spaces on the worksheet with the correct functions of each body part.
• Review the answers as a class and discuss any questions or misunderstandings.

Independent Practice

• Have students work individually or in small groups to create a poster or presentation on a specific disorder caused by not maintaining an internal condition in the body.
• Students should include information on the specific condition, its causes, and any treatments available.
• Allow students time to work on their projects independently or in small groups.

Closure

• Have students share their presentations or posters with the class.
• Discuss the importance of maintaining steady internal conditions in the body and the importance of understanding how the human body regulates physiological activities.

Assessment

• Observe students during the guided practice activity and during independent practice to assess their understanding of the topic and ability to apply their knowledge to a real-world scenario.
• Evaluate students' posters or presentations for understanding of the disorder, the importance of maintaining steady internal conditions in the body, and the ability to incorporate information about physiological regulation into the project.
