Understanding By Design HHS Unit Plan 2015-2016
Essentials of Healthcare: The Integumentary System
Stage 1 - Desired Results
Content Standards:
Analyze the anatomy, physiology and basic pathophysiology of the integumentary system, and evaluate and monitor
body temperature.
3.1 Analyze the basic structures and functions of the integumentary system.
3.2 Identify and explain medical terms related to the integumentary system, and utilize appropriately when
documenting in a simulated electronic medical record.
3.3 Research common diseases, disorders and emerging diseases of the integumentary system including the
pathophysiology, prevention, diagnosis and treatment that might be utilized in each.
3.4 Make observations of the skin to include: color, temperature to touch, scarring, bruising, abrasions, lacerations, or
other abnormalities.
3.5 Discuss the role of the integumentary system in homeostasis regarding body temperature.
3.6 Demonstrate measuring and recording of temperature, and identify abnormal results.
Common Core Georgia Performance Standards
ELACC9-10RST1: Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to the
precise details of explanations or descriptions.
ELACC9-10RST3: Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking
measurements, or performing technical tasks attending to special cases or exceptions defined in the text.

Stage 3 - Learning Plan


What learning experiences and instruction will enable students to achieve the desired
results?
What specifically stated instructional best practices will be utilized in the learning process?
Students will be covering Ch. 5, The Integumentary System, from Human Anatomy and Physiology, 7th
edition.
Day #1 – Definitions and unpacking the standards.
(handouts on anatomy)
Day #2 – Anatomy of the Integumentary System
Day #3 – Disorders of the integumentary system.
Day #4 – Salem Health Article on Skin Disorders
(Students will learn how to treat for burns and control bleeding in a first aid unit)
Differentiation:
Students will use “Teamwork” to answer questions in class
Students will be given extra time on tests and assignments when needed
Students will have test read to them when required
