STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:
Etymology;
Muscular System
BIG IDEAS:
(Content standards, assessment anchors, eligible content) objectives, and skill
focus)
• Effective use of vocabulary builds social and academic knowledge.
• Explain how affixes and root words can be used to determine the meaning of
new vocabulary or content terminology.
• Structure is related to function at all biological levels of organization.
• Eukaryotic cells can differentiate and organize making it possible for
multicellularity.
• Through a variety of mechanisms organisms seek to maintain a biological
balance between their internal and external environments.
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
Students will understand:
• How changes in word parts affect meaning;
• How to decipher the meaning of medical terminolgy by analyzing both the
phonetic and the morphological parts of words
• Cell differentiation occurs many times during development of a multicellular
organism giving rise to a diversity of cell types.
• Organs work together as a system to perform common functions.
• The pattern of form following function is reflected at all biological levels of
organization..
VOCABULARY: Aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration,
antagonist, insertion, isometric contraction, isotonic
contraction, motor unit, muscle twitch, myofibril,
myofilament, neuromuscular junction, origin, oxygen debt,
sarcomere, sliding filament mechanism, synergist,
contractility, excitability, extensibility, elasticity, epimysium,
endomysium, perimysium, fascia, resting membrane
potential, repolarization, depolarization, action potential,
neurotransmitter, recruitement, tetanus, rigor mortis, prime
mover, aponeuroses, acetylcholine
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
• How can the knowledge of language help us to communicate
and understand?
• How can affixes and root words be used to determine the
meaning of new vocabulary or content terminology?
• Organisms share common characteristics of life.
• How is structure related to function at all biological levels of
organization??
STUDENT OBJECTIVES (COMPETENCIES/OUTCOMES):
Students will be able to:
• Apply word analysis skills (e.g.: syllabication, root words,
prefixes, suffixes, inflectional endings) to read and unlock
meaning of words.
• Use the knowledge of language, including word origins and
morphology to unlock meaning of specialized vocabulary
across disciplines.
• Develop an increasingly sophisticated working vocabulary
including specialized vocabulary from academic content
areas.
• Identify and describe various ways models are used to
explain, interpret, and predict, biological
phenomena/systems.
• Cite examples of how structure is related to function at all
biological levels of organization.
• Compare and contrast the structural and functional
similarities and differences among living things.

trunk muscles on class model.
• Have students identify how an
arm muscle was named based on
shape, orientation, location, size,
number of origins and action.
• Have students identify how a
leg muscle was named based on
shape, orientation, location, size,
number of origins and action.
