4. Selected Methods, Media, and materials • Skeletal Model • Heart Model • Pencils • Computer • Poster Board • Butcher paper • Scissors • Markers

5. Wesites Used • Http://kidshealth.org/kid/body/muscles_noSW.html • http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/how_the_body_works.html • http://web.buddyproject.org/web019/web019/bvessels.html • http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/facts.html • http://sln.fi.edu/giantheart/facts.html

6. Utilize Media and Materials Day One -I will introduce the Human Body System -I will ask questions such as “Have you ever broken a bone?” and, “Do you know what the name of that bone is?” -I will become specific with the Skeletal System

7. Day 2 • I will show students a website that shows the skeletal system • I will give them a worksheet to color the bones and give them a word bank to label the bones listed. (only a few) • If time, I will give them a health Trivia worksheet to introduce the muscular system.

8. Day 3 • Quizzing the students on the first half of the bones • Pair up with a partner, and trace their partner’s body on a piece of butcher paper. • The students will label and draw as many bones as they can.

9. Day 4 • Begin by giving students a 2nd quiz on the rest of the bones. • Introduce the Heart and how it works the cardiovascular system. • I will have them run in place to see how fast they can get their heart to beat. • The students will write down what else they can do to keep their body healthy.

10. Day 5 • Review of the cardiovascular System • Work on worksheet that combines muscular and cardiovascular systems • Introducing of the Nervous System • Watch a movie on the Brain • Ask students questions that happened a week ago to show that the brain is responsible for remembering.

11. Day 6 • Worksheet on the brain • Arrange students into groups and ask each group to create a diagram of a major body system that we have talked about. • I will combine their drawings in a book and call it “The Human Body System”

12. Day 7 • I will have them look over the book that they have designed • Reviewing of the systems and book. • Ask them which one fascinated them the most.

13. Require Learner Participation • My Interaction Websites keep them interested • Exploring the systems on their own • Creating diagrams of their friends • Running in place and walking around the room for cardiovascular • Group activities by making the book.

14. Evaluate and Revise • Students learning and achievement will be evaluated by their quizzes as well as their partner work and their daily assignments and worksheets. • They will be evaluated on their overall Human Body System book that they work on as a class that will be done at the end of the unit.
