Section outline

  • Heart Anatomy: Labeled Diagram, Structures, Blood Flow, Function of Cardiac  System — EZmedVision and Eye Diagram: How We See

    Context: Reconnecting

    Big Ideas: 

    We have become distanced from each other and in some ways isolated - from school, each other and sometimes ourselves.  This term we focus on discovering what makes us unique and reconnecting with others.  Our focus in Science will be to learn about our body - cells, organs and organ systems makes us who we are.

    5c's - Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, Creativity & Citizenship
