Westbury High School
Science Department Lesson Plan
Teacher: M. Callegari
Date: Oct 20th- Oct. 24th 2014
Subject:Anatomy & Physiology
Lesson: Integumentary System
LESSON OBJECTIVE: What will your students be able to do by the end of the class?
The student will discover how our bodies are put together through the framework of tissues,
skin, hair and nails.
Defining Success
STANDARDS ADDRESSED: TEKS AND SE
SE – Objective 2: The student will demonstrate an
understanding of the organization of living systems
6(A) The student examines the body processes that
maintain homeostasis. The student is expected to
investigate and describe the integration of the
chemical and physical processes, including
equilibrium, temperature, pH balance, chemical
reactions, passive transport, active transport, and
biofeedback, that contribute to homeostatis; and
6(B) determine the consequences of the failure to
maintain homeostasis.
10(A) The student investigates structure and
function of the human body. The student is
expected to analyze the relationships between the
anatomical structures and the physiological
functions of body systems.
5(D) analyze and describe the effects of pressure,
movement, torque, tension, and elasticity on the
human
Teaching Strategies / Mini Lessons
Content:
-Develop a strong language of the
discipline (the integumentary system).
-Observe patterns on the cellular level
of skin.
-Discover the changes in skin over time
due to environmental factors, heredity,
and lifestyle.
Process:
-Mnenomics for layers of skin.
-Project-based learning: Building the
layers of the skin with colored clay
Product:
-Skin models
-Ability to accurately discuss the details
of the chapter using the proper
vernacular
Lesson Cycle
ANTICIPATORY SET: (ENGAGE): A “hook” to get the students interest and
attention. (A question, picture, 2-3 minute long video clip, a demonstration).
MATERIALS
- Video on Integumentary System
Interactive Science
Notebook
TEACHING/INSTRUCTIONAL PROCESS: (EXPLORE/EXPLAIN): Provide
students with a common experience (Labs, hands on activities). Debrief activity,
teach concept.
Human Body
Mannequin
-PPT and Notes from Ch. 4
Dry Erase Boards
Clay
GUIDED PRACTICE AND MONITORING: (EXPLAIN). Interactive discussions
between teacher and students. Guide/help students as they solve problems
and/or answer questions. Clarify misconceptions and check for understanding.
-Review location and function of various skin receptors
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE: (ELABORATE) Students apply the information
learned in the Explain to answer questions or solve problems.
-Students will complete models of the skin using clay
-Tissues review worksheet
-Test Review
EVALUATE: Assess student mastery. (Quizzes, Lab Reports, Unit tests)
-Quiz on Skin Diagram
-Exam #3 on Chapters 1,3, and 4
