  • PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING to complete a series of practical investigations so that we can collect data on health and diet requirements of an Olympic athletes

    Wänanga: Active Learner

    Wänanga: The 5 Cs

    Learning Intentions: 
     We are learning to (WALT)...
    • Name the main food groups and give an example of each 
    • Revise the function of each food type/ nutrient group
    • Investigate deficiency diseases - should one not get enough of a certain food group. 
    • Carry out a number of food test investigations 
    • Describe the elements of a healthy diet and why the different nutrients are essential 
    • Investigate and calculate the amount of energy in a particular food type by doing the  burning food  investigation
    • Research the required amount of food needed by a top athlete 
    • Identify the build of different athletes - revise the structure of the skeleton 
    • Identify antagonistic muscles by dissecting a chicken wing 
    • Investigate why we need food and how it gets transported around the body 
    • Investigate the Circulatory system in detail 
    • Name the different parts of the heart paying particular attention of structure vs function 
    • Tabulate the differences and similarities between veins arteries and capillaries 
    • Research the structure and function of the different components of the blood 
    • Perform a heart dissection to practically look at the structure of the heart

    • Success Criteria: I can/have...
    •  Successfully list the different food groups and give an example of each
    • Correctly list the function of each nutrient group
    • Explain what the molecular structure of the different food groups and sucessfully explain how we would test for each 
    • Correctly discuss the elements of a healthy diet as well as deficiency diseases 
    • Successfully calculate the amount of energy in a food type by performing an investigative practical
    • Discuss the energy requirements and thus diet of a top athlete 
    • Successfully list the bones in the human skeleton and discuss the movement of the antagonistic muscles 
    • Perform a dissection of a chicken Wing so that we can compare and contrast the pectoral girdles of different animals 
    • Successfully label the different parts of the circulatory system 
    • Describe the similarities and differences between the different components of the blood 
    • Successfully explain the differences and similarities between veins, arteries and capillaries 
    • Activities:

    1. Chicken Wing Dissection 

    2. Assessment 2 - Practical investigation into the energy content of food. - See Google class for details of practical. This is the start of our       

         assessment 

    3. TASK 2: How to test for the different nutrients - observing the different colour tests 

    4 Education Perfect tasks 

    5. Brain pop 

    6. Various Videos on these topics
