On Day 1, students will receive an introduction to the heart, blood vessels, and will view models.  On Day 2, students will participate in interactive lessons that show a contemporary connection with living a heart-healthy lifestyle.
Lesson Description for Day:
Day 1
Healthy Heart
State Standards:
(a)  Introduction.
(1)  In health education, students acquire the health information and skills necessary to become healthy adults and learn about behaviors in which they should and should not participate. To achieve that goal, students will understand the following: students should first seek guidance in the area of health from their parents; personal behaviors can increase or reduce health risks throughout the lifespan; health is influenced by a variety of factors; students can recognize and utilize health information and products; and personal/interpersonal skills are needed to promote individual, family, and community health.
b)  Knowledge and skills.
(1)  Health information. The student comprehends ways to enhance and maintain personal health throughout the life span. The student is expected to:
(A)  analyze the interrelationships of physical, mental, and social health;
(B)  identify and describe types of eating disorders such as bulimia, anorexia, or overeating;
(C)  identify and describe lifetime strategies for prevention and early identification of disorders such as depression and anxiety that may lead to long-term disability; and
(D)  describe the life cycle of human beings including birth, dying, and death.
(2)  Health information. The student recognizes ways that body structure and function relate to personal health throughout the life span. The student is expected to:
(A)  explain how differences in growth patterns among adolescents such as onset of puberty may affect personal health;


Goals

Unit Goals:
Students will be able to identify the different parts and function of the human circulatory system. Students will also be introduced to the different parts of the heart and how the blood flows thru the heart. Students will understand the importance of proper diet as related to the heart, including how it effects heart rate, blood pressure, and impact of exercise.
Key Understandings and Guiding Questions:
• The human body is composed of eleven systems which have specific functions.
     — What are the functions of the respiratory system?
     — What are the functions of the circulatory system?
• The systems in the body have organs with specific structures and functions.
     — What is the function of blood?
     — Where does the force needed to push the blood
         through the body originate?

Lesson Goals:
Students will understand what the circulatory system does. Students identify the different basics of the circulatory system Students will understand the importance of a proper healthy diet, exercise and rest.






















Methods

Anticipatory Set:
Students will review and describe the function of the different parts of the heart along with the function and structure of the heart by drawing and labeling the heart. Videos describing the heart will be used to help students with understanding of the heart. Handouts of the heart both labeled and blank that point out the important parts of the heart also to help the students they will be given a word search with definitions as clues instead of the vocabulary word.
Vocabulary of Instruction:
  • aorta*
  • artery*
  • atrium
  • auricle
  • blood pressure*
  • capillaries  
  • cardiac
  • circulation*  
  • hemoglobin     
  • platelets
  • vein*
  • ventricle 
*Designated vocabulary for students with modification of reduced content(SPED/LD)
UDL Network:  Recognition/Strategic/Affective


Introduce and Model New Knowledge:
Teacher will show an introductory video of the circulatory system, the heart, and blood pressure:
Discovery Education/Introduction to the Circulatory System:
Discovery Education/The Heart:
Discovery Education/Blood Vessels:
Discovery Education/Blood Pressure:
* Students will be given handouts based on videos for pre assessment on information from videos.*
Students with modifications of word bank will receive a word bank to assist with answering questions. (SPED/504)
UDL Network:  Recognition/Strategic/Affective
To increase student awareness of how heart function related to their personal health, the high school Health Professions Academy (HPA) will demonstrate on students taking their blood pressure and will also explain what the numbers mean. After HPA students have taken students blood pressure, students will view a video on how blood pressure numbers correlate to the blood function of the heart.
UDL Network:  Recognition/Affective
 With the help of the HPA students my students will manipulate a 3-D model of the human heart,by disassembling the model to get a closer look at different parts of the heart. Students will also be asked to name the different parts and functions. (tactile learners)
Students will then participate in a series of online articles and activities that will introduce them to information about exercise and nutrition choices that affect the heart.
UDL Network:  Recognition/Affective
Provide Guided Practice:
Students will use models of the heart and research different Internet web sites to obtain additional l information. At each site, they will be instructed to view, read, record, etc. specific information. Teachers will monitor student progress and assist by helping students maneuver through the web sites and help students understand the information they are viewing/reading.*
*Student accommodations may include:
        A computer with assistive technology for auditory or visual impairments;
        Teacher assistance with reading and/or pronunciation and definition of words in context;
        Collaboration with peers as directed by the teacher.

UDL Network:  Recognition/Strategic/Affective
Provide Independent Practice:
Students will collect information and record facts from their reading/viewing of diagrams. Following the lesson, students will create a voice thread PowerPoint, or video of heart healthy lifestyle explaining the healthy and unhealthy sides.*
*Students with modifications/accommodations may collaborate with another student to create a joint presentation. (SPED/LD/504)
UDL Network:  Strategic/Affective

Optional:  Students who finish early may explore web sites and activities under “Enrichment”.  (G/T)
UDL Network:  Strategic/Affective

Students will take both an oral and written assessments, focusing on the understanding the general function of circulatory system. They will be required to create their own presentations using technology that can be adapted to fit their learning levels and limitations


Assessment

Formative/Ongoing Assessment:
Student understating during the progress of instruction will be evaluated by (1) students’ completion of diagrams and quizzes; (2) students’ answers to teacher’s verbal questions; and (3) students’ progress through the interactive hyperlinks (informational web sites). *
*Modifications and/or accommodations will be provided per student IEP’s.
UDL Network:  Recognition/Strategic/Affective

Summative/End Of Lesson Assessment:
Students’ understanding of the lesson, understanding of the applications of the lesson, and synthesis will be evaluated by the end-of-lesson glog each student will create. The glog is a reflective process that will result in a unique and distinct individual representation of the information assimilated by the student.*
*Modifications and/or accommodations will be provided per student IEP’s. Students with modifications and/or accommodations may collaborate with another student to create a joint presentation. (SPED/LD/504)
