Can you believe we already have two days of the last semester under our belt?!
We are starting our Human Biology unit with an introduction to human body systems and how they are interconnected and interdependent. First, we are becoming experts in one of six body systems (Cardiovascular, Digestive, Respiratory, Immune, Endocrine, and Nervous) so that we can examine how they all function together to keep us alive. We will have presentations on these systems beginning on Tuesday of this week, with Monday hopefully being the last day to finish our research and create the presentations.
Monday: Finish research, group work on presentations, and making life-sized models of body systems.
Tuesday: Begin presentations, and hopefully finish them.
Wednesday: Focus on movement and structure (muscles and skeleton)
Thursday: Chicken Wing Dissection??? Be sure to have read through the procedure before coming to class and let me know if you don't have access to the electronic copy of the book yet! The chicken wings will be free of surface bacteria, so we won't be wearing gloves.
Friday: TBD
Don't forget, report card envelopes need to be signed and returned to your 1st core teacher
