Engage:
Picture of Dr. B on Valentines
Day

Engage: Bell work Q: What

are you feeling when you take
your pulse?

Evaluate:
Pre-assessment, have students
label heart diagram and trace
flow of blood through heart. (10
mins).

Explore
Students are in computer lab
using simulation on different
factors affecting blood
pressure, filling out worksheet
as they go. (Entire period)

Engage: Bell Work: Do you

know your average blood
pressure? What would be
considered high blood
pressure? (5 mins)
Move to computer lab (5
mins)
Explore/Explain
In computer lab, American
Heart Association Interactive
Cardiovascular Library: The
Blood pressure test. Anatomy
of Blood Pressure. HBP and
the cardiovascular system.
Arteriosclerosis. (20 mins)
(w/worksheet)

Hand back blood type HW.

Show key. Have students make
corrections on their own papers.
(10 mins).
Explore:
With shoulder partner: Given the
definitions of Systole: part of
heart cycle when ventricles are
contracting, and diastole: part of
heart cycle when ventricles are
relaxed, make predictions about
pressure changes, valves being
open or shut, blood flow, etc,
during each phase. (5-10 mins).

Engage: Bell Work: Why do

they tell you to do leg
exercises on a long plane
flight? (5 mins)
Explore
With shoulder partner: (20
mins) Slide 1 of PPT: What is
different between these two
blood vessels?
One is an artery, and one is a
vein. Which one is which, and
why?
Slide 2: What does the muscle
in the wall of the artery do?

Elaborate:
Have students work in groups
of 3 to take their own pulses,
listen to their own heartbeats
with stethoscopes, and
measure resting blood
pressure on group members.
Instruct students to try to
lower their HR as much as
possible, and to increase it as

Why dont veins have or need

muscles?
Why do veins have valves?

forward in an artery?
What propels the blood
