The Unit Plan

Save time and make teaching easier with this combined unit and daily lesson plan that covers 2 weeks of a secondary H A & P course. SIOP, gifted, and differentiation strategies are embedded and easily identified throuought. Lessons are differnetiated accoding to learning style, grouping, and language ability. Both content and literacy standards as well as key vocabulary words, essential questions, activating strategies, instructional strategies, and summarizing strategies are included and highlighted. Video links are provided! (Please note that video links are active but may requires access to United Streaming and/or that you be logged into your google account)

Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:

Content Standards:

SAP3: Students will assess the integration and coordination of body functions and their dependence on the endocrine and nervous systems to regulate physiological activities..

• Interpret interactions among hormones, senses, and nerves which make possible the coordination of functions of the body.
• Investigate the physiology of electrochemical impulses and neural integration and trace the pathway of an impulse, relating biochemical changes involved in the conduction of the impulse.
• Describe how the body perceives internal and external stimuli and responds to maintain a stable internal environment, as it relates to biofeedback.

Literacy Standards:

• L11-12RST2: Determine the central ideas of conclusions of a text; summarize complex concepts, processes, or information presented in a text by paragraphing them in simpler but still accurate terms.
• L11-12RST3: Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments…

Content Objectives (TSWBAT):

1. When provided with a model or diagram, identify the accessory eye structures, and list the functions of each.
2. Name the layers of the wall of the eye, and indicate the major function of each.
3. Explain how the functions of rods and cones differ.
4. Define blind spot, cataract, and glaucoma.
5. Trace the pathway of light through the eye to the retina.
6. Discuss the importance of ophthalmoscopic examination.
7. Describe image formation on the retina.
8. Define accommodation, astigmatism, emmetropia, hyperopia, myopia, and refraction.
9. Trace the visual pathway to the visual cortex.
10. Discuss the importance of convergence and pupillary reflexes.
11. Identify the structures of the external, middle, and internal ear, and list the functions of each.
12. Distinguish between static and dynamic equilibrium.
13. Describe how the equilibrium organs help maintain balance.
14. Explain the function of the spiral organ of Corti in haring.
15. Define sensorineural deafness and conductive deafness, and list possible causes of each.
16. Explain how a person is able of localize the source of a sound.
17. Describe the location, structure, and function of the olfactory and taste receptors.
18. Name the five basic taste sensations, and list factors that modify the sense of taste.

Language Objectives:
