Lesson+One

LT S2.3 Identifies and describes the structure and function of living things and ways in which living things interact with other living things and their environment  -  //Explore and demonstrate how the digestive system of the human body functions as well as the function of each of the organs involved in this system // || At the end of this lesson, students will:  -  Demonstrate an understanding of the organs that form the human body  -  Demonstrate an understanding of the digestive system in particular – its function and structure || “What happens to a hamburger?” by Paul Showers  |||||||| || <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> || __<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Introduction: (10 mins) __ || //<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> Name the organs that make up our body – internal or external //<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> Are these organs connected or do they flow individually within or bodies? //<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> So what do we call a series of organs which are connected together? //<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> [system] - Explain that our body consists of a number of systems, and each system has its own role and function inside our bodies - Tell students that we will be focusing on only one of these systems for a while - the digestive system <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> - Ask: //<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">What do you think the digestive system is?

Put their hands up to ask questions and clarify certain information presented in the book which will deepen their understanding of this system |||| <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> - Ask: <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">What do you think happens to the food or water as you eat or drink? //<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Allow enough time for answers. <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">- Give students time to ask questions about information they are not sure of or don’t understand - Praise students for their answers and explain that we will know exactly what happens to the food and drink which goes into our bodies after reading this book. - Read the book. - Stop throughout the book, where necessarily, to clarify certain points - After reading the book, recap on the specific organs that form the digestive system. This is useful when performing the following activity. || Divide students into 5 groups, each group forming one organ that forms the digestive system (mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, small and large intestine). <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> - Students have to act out the role each of the organs plays in the digestive system as a whole. The first group of students makes the shape of the mouth, while standing up; the next group makes the esophagus, and so on. Enough space must be given to the piece of food to travel through. One student can be the apple bite who has to travel through the parts of the digestive system till it is excreted outside the body. The teacher can be the narrator. - Open the book on page 30, and display the diagram in front of the students to refer to when forming their digestive system structure. - A large space is needed for this activity - Ask students to create some sound effects and appropriate moves as the food is travelling down the organs. - Conclude with a reflection on the activity. || Students will be assessed on their ability to: <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Usherwood-BookItalic; mso-fareast-font-family: Usherwood-BookItalic; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="msoansilanguage: EN-AU; msobidifontfamily: Usherwood-BookItalic; msofareastfontfamily: Usherwood-BookItalic; msolist: Ignore;">- <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Usherwood-BookItalic; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> Effectively participate in class discussions and collaboratively work as part of a team <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Usherwood-BookItalic; mso-fareast-font-family: Usherwood-BookItalic; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="msoansilanguage: EN-AU; msobidifontfamily: Usherwood-BookItalic; msofareastfontfamily: Usherwood-BookItalic; msolist: Ignore;">- <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Usherwood-BookItalic; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> Show engagement and interest in the content of the topic and the activity || <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Students with special educational needs will be given extra support and care in order to scaffold the information in a certain way for them to understand. Perhaps, getting them to sit at the front when the book is being read to the class and asking them to answer certain questions presented earlier in the book will get them thinking and be involved throughout the whole lesson. || A variety of information must be gathered in order to effectively evaluate the lesson - <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> Were the students engaged throughout the various phases of the lesson?
