| Objectives |
-
Students will be able to describe the location of the heart in the chest
cavity and identify its major anatomical areas on an appropriate model
or diagram.
-
Students will be able to trace the pathway of blood through the heart.
|
| Materials and Activities |
| Materials |
These are some of the suggested materials that
can be used for this activity.
-cut outs of the major anatomical parts of the heart.
-color pens or pencils
-paper (any color)
-stopwatch
-graph paper |
| Activities |
|
| Engage |
-
How may anatomical parts does the heart have?
-
What direction does the blood takes to enter and leave the heart?
|
| Explore |
-
Working in groups of two, students will build the internal anatomical parts
of the heart,using the supplied cut outs.
-
Label the parts of the heart diagram using the correct terminology.
-
Students will make a table of anatomical parts and their functions.

(You can modify and only select the internal parts that you want them
to know)
-
Using a marker draw an arrow showing where the blood enters the heart,
then using a different color marker trace the path of the blood exiting
the heart.
|
| Explain |
-
Using an overhead projector or a video students will correct/ revise their
blood flow diagrams.
-
The teacher will explain in detail the correct blood flow through the heart.
-
Talk about the pumping action of the blood through the heart
|
| Elaborate |
-
Define stroke volume and cardiac output.
-
Students will take their heart rate, and using the following formula be
able to calculate the Cardiac Output.
CO= heart rate ( 75 beats per min) * stroke volume ( 70ml per beat)
-
Students will compare their personal heart rate and cardiac output with
5 other students in the class.
-
Using the data collected from the other students in the class, the student
will make a table and graph.
-
With the table and graph, the student will analyze the results to write
a conclusion.
|
| Evaluation |
-
Students will be tested on their knowledge and skills (research, cooperative
learning and math).
-
Assess ability to obtain data and graph that data.
|
| Homework |
Finish what was not done in class at home. |
