__Knowledge outcomes By the end of this unit, students should be able to:__ 1. Explain the relationship between cells, tissues, organs and systems. A cell is a single unit os organisms. When many cells form together, tissues are formed. When tissues come together, organs are formed. Then when organs work with each other a system is formed. 2. State, with examples that organs are a group of tissues that coordinate to do a specific job. 3. Identify a variety of organ systems in animals and recall that they are made up of different organs with a special purpose working together. Write a summary of the above 2 outcomes on your own wiki. Make a terminology list in your wiki using the words that you learned from the 2 Quia activities. [|The Body Systems Quia Activit]y AND [|Anatomy: Systems of the Human Body] (Make sure you log in with your user name and password)

4. Recall the word equation for respiration. Make a podcast using [] to explain cellular respiration to Yr 7 girls after watching the the video: [|Cellular Respiration] on your wiki.

5. Recall function of each of the major body systems (circulatory, excretory, skeletal, respiratory). When your table is complete, use your snipping tool and insert a jpg of your table in your wiki. Make a [|Blabber] like the example below that explains the function of each of the major body systems. Then embed the blabber in your wiki

6. Label a diagram of the respiratory system (trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli).

7. Explain how air enters and exists the lungs.

8. Describe the process that occurs inside an alveolus.

Insert a labelled diagram of the respiratory system in your wiki

In pairs decide whether you want to make a video for Outcome No:7 or No:8. When your video is ready, swap with your partner so both of you have a media item for both outcomes. To make the video, use Windows MovieMaker or [|Jaycut] or [|Empressor]or [|Jing] or [|Vuvox] (Use the collage option)

Homework:

Take[| this]quiz and complete both Quia activities in OneNote on the Respiratory System

[|Respiratory System Crossword]

9. State the function of each of the following components of the circulatory system: arteries, veins, capillaries, heart., blood.

10. Describe the function of the main components of blood (plasma, red and white blood cells and platelets).

In pairs decide whether you want to make a video for No9 or No10. When your video is ready, swap with your partner so both of you have a video for No9 AND No10

Make a quiz using [] with all the terminology learned here

[|Circulatory System Crossword]

11. Give examples of life saving technology that have arisen as a result of improved understanding of the circulatory system (artificial heart valves ECG and artificial blood). In groups of 3 decide which life saving technology you want to make a video for. When your video is ready, swap with your group members so all of you have 3 short videos for 3 technologies

12. Outline the function of the following nutrients in keeping the body healthy: carbohydrates, proteins, fats and oils. 13. Label a diagram of the digestive system. 14. Outline the function of the organs of the digestive system. [|Animation of the Digestive System] Engage with the interactive of the Digestive system at: [|The Virtual Body] [|Digestive System Crossword] Insert the Food groups-Source and Function table in your wiki Use [|Glogster] to make a poster of the digestive system. Then insert it in your wiki Insert a Structure-Function table for the parts of the digestive system in your wiki

15. Recall the 3 main functions of the skeletal system (support, protection of internal organs and providing anchor points for muscles. Note: students are not expected to be able to name the bones of the human body – this is covered in PDHPE

Make a podcast about the functions of the skeletal system using Audacity. The video below shows you how to record yourself using Audacity.

Complete this [|Quia Cloze] passage

16. Describe the function of the excretory system.

17. Label the urinary system.

18. Recall the function of the following parts of the urinary system: kidney, bladder, ureters, urethra.

1 9. Outline the contributions made by __one__ of the following Australian to the field of medicine: Victor Chang, Fiona Wood, Barry Marshall.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Choose any of the given medical researchers. Make a short video or a slide show using [] <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Georgia,serif;">outlining their contribution to the field of medicine.

20. Describe some careers in the area of health Science.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Georgia,serif;">After you have written your structured paragraphs, make a podcast to tell the class why you would like or not like to pursue a career in health Science.

__Skills outcomes__ By the end of this unit, students should be able to:


 * 1) Interpret the results of experiments carried out by Boyle, Lavoisier and Priestly to investigate the process of respiration.
 * 2) Carry out an experiment to measure the amount of energy in a sample of food and outline sources of error.
 * 3) Extract information from flow diagrams, texts and audio/visual resources.
