Biology 20 Unit Plan Circulatory system and gas exchange

Course Biology 20 Grade Level 11

Subject Circulatory system and gas exchange Time Frame 3 weeks (11 classes)
Developed by Jessica Gregg

Stage 1: Desired Results Program of Studies

Content Standard(s)
Enduring Understandings/Big Ideas (Program of
Studies):
-Students will understand that specialized structures function
in the overall biochemical balance of living systems
-Understand that knowledge of living systems and medical
technology support the prevention and treatment of disorders
Related misconceptions may include how the circulatory
system works in combination with the respiratory system
and how very complex each of these systems are
Essential Questions (Program of Studies):
-What is the role of the circulatory and defense systems in
maintaining an internal equilibrium?
-How does the respiratory system exchange energy and matter
with the environment?
Prior Knowledge:
Grade 8 science systems, science 10 cycling of matter in
living systems

Knowledge objectives (key outcomes): Skills/Attitudes objectives (key outcomes):

-Students will explain the role of the circulatory and defense -Students will be able to explore and use a variety of methods
system in maintaining an internal equilibrium and resources to increase their knowledge and skills
-identify the principle structures of the heart and associated -Ask questions and conduct research to ensure understandings
blood vessels -perform an experiment to examine the mechanics of
-describe the action of the heart, blood pressure and the breathing, such as lung volume and breathing rate
general circulation of blood through the coronary, - Students will design procedures to investigate factors
pulmonary and systemic pathways affecting heart rate and blood pressure
-describe the main components of blood and their role in - Students will measure blood pressure and observe blood
transport, clotting resisting the influence of pathogens flow
-explain the role of blood in regulating body temperature
-describe and explain the function of the lymphatic system
-describe the ABO and Rh blood groups on the basis of
antigens and antibodies
-Students will identify the principle structures of the
respiratory system
-Identify specific pathologies of the respiratory system and
technology used to treat the conditions
