0:05-0:20 – Vocabulary notes: Students will use Quizlet to create flash cards for the circulatory system.
This week students will search for a set I created for them. We will learn how to review the cards as
flashcards, as a quiz and as a game.
0:20-0:43 – Heart demonstration: Using a jar and a balloon with 2 straws I will build a model of a pumping
heart. Students will observe from their seats and then come close to the model, take a picture and put
away their belongings.
