Lesson Plan

Teacher’s Name: Rachel Morgan

Lesson Title: Respiratory System

Subject Area: Science Grade Level: 5th Time Allotment:40 Min

Description of Lesson
In this lesson students will be able to describe, tell the functions of, and identify the sequential steps of
respiratory and the roles of the trachea, bronchi, lungs, and diaphragm in the human body and plants.

State Curriculum Standards Met in this Lesson

CDE: Life Sciences-2. Plants and animals have structures for respiration, digestion, waste disposal, and
transport of materials. As a basis for understanding this concept:
a. Students know many multicellular organisms have specialized structures to support the
transport of materials.
b. Students know how blood circulates through the heart chambers, lungs, and body and how
carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and oxygen (O2 ) are exchanged in the lungs and tissues.
NGSS: MS-LS1-3. Emphasis is on the conceptual understanding that cells form tissues and tissues form
organs specialized for particular body functions. Examples could include the interaction of subsystems
within a system and the normal functioning of those systems.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does
not include the mechanism of one body system independent of others. Assessment is limited to the circu-
latory, excretory, digestive, respiratory, muscular, and nervous systems.]

INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS

Knowledge Constructor
Students critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce cre-
ative artifacts and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others.
Creative Communicator
Students communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the plat-
forms, tools, styles, formats and digital media appropriate to their goals.
Global Collaborator
Students use digital tools to broaden their perspectives and enrich their learning by collaborating with
others and working effectively in teams locally and globally.

INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES

Rachel Morgan Lesson Plan 1! 04/06/2018

At the end of the week, students will be able to recall the functions and location of organs in the Human
Respiratory System, with 90% accuracy on a diagram quiz, and recall functions and location of organs of
plant and basic animal respiratory systems with at least 70% accuracy. And be able to compare and con-
trast the functions and locations to basic Animal and Plant systems with a paper and Venn diagram.

INTRODUCTORY ACTIVITIES

We will go over a review of the digestive system through questions and discussion then a oral quiz. Then
we will then move onto an introduction of the Respiratory system through first some general questions
about breathing and the blood stream. Having them hold their breath in and feeling their lungs work while
they breathe, taking their own and other students pulses to show that the heart beats constantly. Addition-
ally, parts of a Magic School Bus Video will be shown to enhance the students learning. Pausing occa-
sionally to describe in detail the area they are going over and relating it to the bigger picture.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES/LEARNING ACTIVITIES

1. Review the respiratory system

2. Watch the Magic School Bus Clip
3. Describe the parts of the Human Respiratory system and how they effect the human body.
4. Describe the Plant and Animals Respiratory system and how they are similar and different to the human
system.
5. Pass out sheets Diagrams with unlabeled Human Respiratory system, if the student finishes quickly
they can color in the systems that they labeled
6. Go over together using powerpoint presentation
7. Pass out Diagrams of unlabeled Plant and Animal Respiratory system
8. Go over together using powerpoint
9. Go over instructions of the compare and contrast paper
10.Hand out Venn diagrams and students can fill out their answers in groups
11.Hand students the papers to write information individually

INTEGRATION OF TECHNOLOGY

The students will watch a portion of a Magic School Bus video.

Students will explore and take a quiz of the various respiratory systems on their computers. Labeling the
parts of the anatomy they know, and learning through trial and error.
We will use the powerpoint and overhead projector to go over activities together.

ASSESSMENT

To evaluate, the students will complete a diagram of each respiratory system and be grades for accuracy.
They will also have a compare and contrast paper of either The human and plant respiratory system or the
human and animal respiratory system to asses their knowledge on the subject.
If they correctly achieve the objective.

ADAPTATIONS FOR SPECIAL LEARNERS

For students with special needs, there will be a labeled coloring sheet they they will have to color in the
area of the system that match with the key to be able and identify them. If needed there will be a paper in
Spanish with a key in the translated words. There will also be a plabcti or foam human respiratory system
so that they can use kinetic learning to implement what they learn. In the case of the advanced students
they can complete a sheet with more details, and they will be required to complete a longer paper, possi-
bly with a comparison of all three systems with some research involved.
