Section outline

  • Learning Outcomes:

    Investigate MRS GREN so we can take care of living things, the earth's treasures.

    Success Criteria:

    EXCRETION

    1. Compare colour of urine and describe what it tells us in terms of hydration levels. 

    2. Label and explain how urine passes through the urinary system (parts: kidney, urethra, bladder, ureters, blood vessels, sphincter muscles) 


    Activities

    1. Examining urine samples and the urinary system -- scientific observations, BrainPop movie, labelling the urinary system diagram 

    2. Lab activity -- kidney dissection 


    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING...on explaining how living things work by describing what MRS GREN stands for
    • We are FOCUSING...on comparing human body systems to structures in other living things (eg. fish, birds, reptiles)
