Assessment Approaches: Evidence:

1. Collect guided notes 1. collect notes
2. exit ticket 2. collected exit ticks
. 3. observations

Assessment Scale:
Assessment Scale for Worksheet:
1: incomplete
2: partially complete
3: complete with 4 or more errors
4: complete with 1-3 errors
5: complete with no errors

Prerequisites:
I. Introduction to the Circulatory System
A. Made up of heart, lungs, blood, blood vessels
1. Blood Vessels are the arteries, capillaries
and veins
2. Arteries take blood away from the heart.
1. the largest artery is the
aorta
3. nutrients and oxygen is dropped off at the
 capillaries and picks up waste and CO2
1. blood slows down here
4. Veins take blood back to the heart
B. Movement of blood around the body is called circulation
1. The heart pumps the blood
C. It takes about 1 second to pump blood to every cell in your body
D. The study of the human heart and its various disorders is known as cardiology

I. Heart
A. The heart is one of the most important organs in the human body
B. The heart is located in your chest
a. slightly left of your chest, about the size of your fist
C. The heart is made up of four chambers
a. the right atrium, the left atrium, the right ventricle, and the left ventricle
b. atria are located on the top and ventricles on the bottom
D. There are four valves in the human heart that make sure blood only goes one way
E. Blood that leaves the heart is carried through arteries. The main artery leaving the
left ventricle is the aorta while the main artery leaving the right ventricle is the
pulmonary artery.
F. Blood going towards the heart is carried through veins. Blood coming from the
lungs to the left atrium is carried through the pulmonary veins while blood coming
from the body to the right atrium is carried through the superior vena cava and inferior
vena cava.
G. 1.3 gallons of blood is pumped through the heart every minute, cup of blood is
pumped in one heartbeat
H. Electricity going through your heart makes the muscle cells contract.
a. heart fills with blood and then contracts, squeezing the blood out.
II. Blood
A. Blood from the heart is pumped to the lungs where it picks up oxygen to
distribute to tissue in our bodies
B. Blood is created in a tissue in our bones known as bone marrow
C. Blood is made out of many different substances
2. erythrocytes or red blood cells are red because of the
amount of oxygen in them and contain hemoglobin for the oxygen to
latch onto when the cell passes through your lungs
3. leukocytes or white blood cells are bigger than red blood
cells and help to keep you from getting sick
4. Platelets help your blood to clot, so when you get a cut
they make the cut stop bleeding
5. Plasma is a yellowish clear liquid mainly made of water
that contains hormones, electrolytes, and antibodies
D. People have different blood types
E. People can donate blood, but no more than a pint at time
6. the body contains approximately 10 pints of blood

Key Vocabulary:
 Blood pressure: the force with which blood moves through a persons body
Hypertension: high blood pressure
Cardiac Arrest: the abrupt loss of heart function
Plaque: a harmful material that can form in arteries and be a cause of heart disease
Subject Matter/Content:
Heart Disease
A. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women
1. Signs of heart attack are pain in chest, arm, back neck, jaw, or
upper stomach
1. Eating a poor diet, having diabetes, lacking exercise, or being
obese/ overweight can increase your risk of heart disease.
2. Heart attacks cause scar tissue to form amongst normal heart
tissue, this can lead to further heart problems or even heart failure
3. Coronary artery disease develops when the major blood
vessels that supply your heart with blood, oxygen and nutrients (coronary
arteries) become damaged or diseased
a. Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) in
your arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary
artery disease.
b. When plaque builds up, they narrow your
coronary arteries, decreasing blood flow to your heart
c. A complete blockage can cause a heart attack.
d. High blood pressure is when the heart works
too hard to pump the blood
Stroke
1. A blocked blood vessel that restricts blood flow to the brain
2. Can cause brain damage

Introduction/Activating/Launch Strategies:
Teacher will ask students to take out their plickers cards. Teacher will review important
vocabulary and facts from the previous lessons such as the definitions of heart, blood
vessels, blood, pump, etc. Students will answer questions and the teacher will review
and remediate any material the students are still struggling with. The teacher will ask
for students to explain what they know about diseases. The teacher will then state
that today they will be learning about heart disease.

Development/Teaching Approaches
The teacher will hand out the heart disease guided notes sheets. The
students will be divided into groups. The teacher will model how to complete
each station.
High Blood pressure- for this station, the students will read a short
teacher created passage, explain what is blood pressure and high blood pressure
are. The students will use the information to fill in their guided notes sheet.
Blood pressure- Students will then have a partner help them take their
blood pressure using the blood pressure cuff. Students will record their heart
rate.
Stroke- Students will read the what is a stroke poster and fill in their
 guided notes sheet with the correct information
Heart attack- students will take a straw and blow a feather across their
paper. Students will then bend the straw slightly and try to blow the feather
across their paper again. Finally students will pinch straw shut and blow on the
feather. Students will reflect on why it was easier to blow on the feather
without bending the straw. Students will fill out guided notes on how blocked
blood vessels can cause a heart attack

Closing:

Teacher will pull class back together for a discussion. Teacher will recap the important
information. Students will fill out an exit slip and hand them in as they leave. Teacher
will tell students that tomorrow they will talk about how to eat so that they keep their
hearts healthy.

Accommodations/Differentiation:For a student with a hearing impairment, the teacher

will provide captions on the video; as well as, utilizing the AV system so that the child,
teacher, and peers can communicate in group discussions.
