Name Grischow/Matcuk
Date 08/25/14
Length of Lesson 19 periods Content Area Human Anatomy & Physiology
STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC (Module, if applicable):
Introduction to etymology;
Introduction to the Human Body
BIG IDEAS:
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
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?
Students will understand:
• Course Requirements and expectations of the students
• Safety rules of the classroom and in the lab
• 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
• Biological levels of organization from smallest to largest include: atoms,
molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, multicellular
organisms, populations, and communities.
• The pattern of form following function is reflected at all biological levels of
organization.
VOCABULARY:
Anatomical position, anatomy, anterior, deep, distal, dorsal,
etiology, etymology, frontal plane, homeostasis, inferior, lateral,
medial, mesentery, negative feedback. physiology, positive
feedback, posterior, proximal, sagittal plane, serous membrane,
superficial, superior, tissue, transverse plane, ventral
(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.
• Through a variety of mechanisms organisms seek to maintain a biological
balance between their internal and external environments.
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.
• 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.
