Life Style Diseases (5weeks)

Principles
Future High Expectation Students will look at how choices they may make now can affect their furture and choose to avoid the poor choices.

Key Competencies
Managing Participating and Contributing Thinking Students will manage their own time and hopefully their choices, particpate fully in experiements and class dicussions and think critacally about the affects diet, exercise and smoking have on peoples health.

Values
Excellene Innovation, Enquiry and Curiosity Diversity Respect Equity Community and Participation Care for the environment Integrity Students should always strive for all of the above.

Big Idea/Question: Choices made about lifestyle impact on our health. Specific Learning Outcomes:
1. Explain the functions necessary to maintain life. 2. Describe the systems which perform the necessary life functions of circulation, respiration and digestion. 3. Describe the organs in the digestive, resiration and circulatory systems and their functions. 4. Describe the relationships between the digestive, resiration and circulatory systems. 5. Compare the human body systems to other organisms body systems. 6. Label each system (respiration, cirulation and digestive) accordinlgy and accurately. 7. Illustrate the lifestyle chocies that can affect each system (digestive, cirulatory and resiratory) and cause diseases. 8. Understand the affects lifestyle chocies have on our bodies. 9. Dicuss certain diseases that are caused by a lifestyle choices. 10. Illustrate what can be done to prevent some lifestyle diseases in the human body.

Essential Questions:
How do smoking, exercise, diet and poor exercise affect me? Are certain diseases caused by lifestyle choices we make? Is the body made up of interconnected organ systems? Basis of life starts at cells. Any other questions that ensure critical thinking is occurring and being done like:
Open-ended questions that are thought provoking and interpretive. Essential Questions are at the core of your content and often leads to, or requires further investigation. Can be used to guide inquiry learning Developed by teacher Can be used as session Learning Intentions Have no obvious right answer Raise more questions Address concepts that are key to the discipline

Curious Questions: Throughout the unit get the students to come up

with Curious questions. These are not necessarily open-ended questions because many of the questions posed in science can have definitive answers/conclusions.

Achievement Criteria:
One formative assessment: Inquiry project. Students will: -Complete a poster or PowerPoint on one body system and a lifestyle disease related to the system and then present it to the class at a passing level (Achieved or higher in reference to the assessment marking schedule, they will be graded accordingly). Two summative assessments a mix-in-match activity and a pre-test. Students will: -Undertake in a pre-test and mix-in-match activity after the first learning material is taught in which they will obtain a passing grade of achieved or high according to the marking schedule.

(Any other Specific content knowledge) e.g.


Vocabulary (section below) Terminology Definitions Key factual information Critical details

Assessment Methods (your gathering methods):


-Appraising the way students complete the prescribed tasks; listening to their discussions and evaluating their discussion outcomes; listening to their verbal descriptions and their class/group participation and comparing this data with the achievement criteria. - Data gathering methods will be a relative task at the start, middle and end of unit through the assessments, when marking and grading there assessments.

Lifestyle chocies and diseases relating to the three systems: Brainstorm ideas first and then go into specfics like eating disoreders, obesity, lung cancer, smoking, diet, melanoma etc. Do pre-test and smoking experiment. Formative Assessment Week: Inquiry project task, one week to research and present. Formative Assessment Task: Mix-in-match activites and pre-test at the beginning of week 5. Summative Assessment Task: Project task and presentation. Prior-knowledge is gained from the mind map lesson at the beginning of the topic. Self-assessment (teacher) is done at the end of each lesson and at the end of the unit. Self-assessment (student) is done at the end of the unit. Peer-assessment each student will assess another peers project in their class and mark accordingly. Teacher Assessment and Unit Assessment: Student Evaultion at the end of the unit will be done, as well as, at least one obseervation by another collegue during the unit.

Week 5

Week 6 Assessment :

Homework activities for this unit: There are homework worksheets for each week and they are due in the a week after e.g. labeling the heart. As well as doing a case study on food and the assessment task can be done as homework if required. Reflection on Unit:
Planning and preparation? Catering to individual students needs? Challenging all students? Use of class time? Overall delivery? Success of unit based on assessment and anecdotal observations? Areas for future improvement (what would have worked better)?

Assessment Tasks:
(What is the culminating activity that will represent the Understandings students have gained from the unit?) Self assessment? Peer assessment? Teacher assessment?

Evaluation of your Teaching (Comment on your ability to scaffold students learning, your science knowledge, effectiveness of your various teaching skills & strategies, your behavior management, areas you need to work on etc) Planning and preparation? Catering to individual students needs? Challenging all students? Use of class time? Overall delivery? Success of lesson based on unit and assessment and anecdotal observations? Area for future improvement (what would of worked better)?

Was I able to: Was I able to finish the lesson in time? Was I able to get the kids engaged and thinking right from the beginning of the lesson? Was I able to encourage student-teacher interaction as well as peer-peer interaction and get students thinking about what they were learning and get the results I wanted in the end? Was I able to bring together different knowledge bases to create activities and achieve my educational and professional goals? Teacher assessment/evaluation done by class and self.

Exit ticket idea: Student Evalaution of a lesson/unit and reflection on there learning.
