Unit: Cells and Human body
Grade Level/Course: 4th grade Science
Teacher: Culberson/Ramirez
Learning Goals (Question 1)
Complex
Simple
SWBAT understand
 Thecirculatory system transports elements throughout the body
 the respiratory system takes oxygen into the body and expels carbon dioxide out of the body
 the nervous system detects and reacts to stimulus in the environment
 each body system is made of parts that work together as a whole
SWK
 the nervous system sends messages through the body
 the respiratory system allows people to breathe
 the circulatory system carries blood through the bodies
 building blocks of the human body are cells, tissues, organs systems, and the organisms.

Discussion about our
bodies: each body
system is made of
parts that work
together as a whole.
Review T and S will
create
A KWL chart
: Circulatory System
guide S (using a
visual ) the flow of
blood in our
bodies
Critical Input Chunk
Vocab:
 stimulus
 cells
 tissues
Guide students
through the uses and
functions of our heart
Read aloud:
Your Heart
By Terri Gezelle
Actively Process
S will write a
list
Ways to keep
our hearts
healthy and
strong.
(generalizing)
Pair activity:
Partner A
writes about
a scenario
involving
ways to keep
our heart
healthy
; Partner B
illustrates the
scenario
T will guide and
demonstrate
using a diagram
how blood flows
through body
S will practice
how blood flows
through the
body by
creating their
own diagram
and applying
arrows
thatcorrespond
with the flow of
blood.
Finish :KWL
chart on
circulator
system
Planning for
Question 4
S will be given
a diagramethe
circulatory
system; S will
be asked to
label main
parts of the
circularly
system.
They will
answer
various
questions
pertaining to
what functions
certain parts
of the heart
are
responsible
for.
