9 October - 15 October

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING Medical science, by investigating how our skeletal system together with muscles and joints help us move.
• We are EXPLORING our blood and circulatory system by dissecting a sheep's heart and lung system
• We are EXPLORING how we can use our knowledge on our respiratory system and how we are harming ourselves by vaping and smoking

Learning Intentions:  We are learning to (WALT)...

• To revise the skeletal system and correctly identify the different bones in the body.
• To understand how joints muscles and bones work together to facilitate movement.  
• To practically investigate by dissection the double circulation process of the heart and lungs 
• By using diagrams and the live dissection, to be able to identify the different parts of the lungs and heart 
• To answer questions on this dissection 

Success Criteria:  I can/have...

• Successfully dissect a chicken wing  and identify the different bones and muscles needed for movement. 
• successfully dissect a sheep's heart and identify the different parts. 
• Correctly explain the structure vs function of the atria, ventricles, valves and blood flow 
• Answer basic questions on the circulatory system 

Activities:

1. Dissect a chicken wing 
2. Watch Mrs Bartlett dissect and explain the structure vs function of the heart  and lungs 
3. Dissect your own sheep's heart and using the sheets supplied correctly identify the different parts of the organ 
4. Answer the questions on the heart and lungs in Ed Perfect. 

Homework:  ALL WORK NOT COMPLETED IN CLASS MUST BE COMPLETED FOR HOMEWORK !
