NLCP-SCIENCE DEPARTMENT WEEKLY LESSON PLAN 2011-2012
COURSE: Honors Anatomy
UNIT I: Human Body and Disease
Red=Reading (CRS Reading)
Blue=Science
Green=Integrations
WEEK: 1
LESSON
OBJECTIVES
To introduce students to the effects of the environment on the human body and to preview body systems. To build a
basic understanding of homeostasis and the human body prior to delving into each human body system in depth.
Primary focus on water, body chemistry and elements found in the human body.
ASSESSMENT
OBJECTIVES
SWBAT:
1. Define: water, electrolyte, electrolyte balance, homeostasis, mixture, solution, aqueous, suspension, colloid
2. Compare and contrast: solution, suspension, colloid
3. Compare and contrast: positive feedback vs. negative feedback
4. Identify and explain key issues related to water and hydration in the human body
CRS/COMMON

What is body chemistry?
(engage & excite) Why is water important to
the body? Does chemistry
really matter for Anatomy?

“Missing” posters: students
Introduce “Survival of the

Sickest”
is found in the human body.
Make a poster detailing what
would happen if the element
was “missing” and why they
need to get it back.
