LESSON PLANNER ONE

Key Content Standards:


Standard that most closely aligns with this lesson:
HS- LS1-2→ Develop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting
systems that provide specific functions within multicellular organisms

Learning Objective
A. Cognitive Task:
Students will be starting to think about vapes and how they can affect the body. Students
will answer some true or false questions about vaping to see what they already know or what
they don’t know about vapes/e-cigarettes. Students will then think about what they may need to
learn more about or what they are wandering about vapes/e-cigarettes based on what they
learned about their vape knowledge from the true or false questionnaire.

B. Understanding or Skill to be Enhanced:


● Students will be able to activate their prior knowledge to show initial thinking
● Students will be able to ask themselves what they may be wondering or what they will
need to learn more about

C. Essential Question(s)
● How can the circulatory and respiratory systems become damaged?
● What does it mean to vape?
● What do you need to learn more about vaping? What do you wonder?

D. What observable real world phenomena is being used to engage students' curiosity and
understanding?
The real world phenomena that is being used to engage students is vaping. Vaping has
become popular among teenagers and the risks aren’t always well known between them.
Students will be exploring vaping/e-cigarettes for the next few days and discover the truth
behind what vaping can do to the body.

E. How will you uncover student thinking (what CCC questions will you ask?)
● How can the circulatory and respiratory systems become damaged? What can you do to
damage these systems?
● Based on what we learned about what we already know about vapes, what else would
you like to learn or what are you wondering about vapes?

F. How are students working as a scientist to uncover understanding?


Students will be working as scientists as they are activating their prior knowledge on a
new topic and asking themselves questions about what they wonder about vapes and what they
would need to learn more about vapes/e-cigarettes.

Formative and Summative Assessments:


During: The assessment during the lesson will be the responses that students will
provide to the initial thinking of vaping assignment where they will see any misconceptions that
they may have about vaping/e-cigarettes. This will help the students and the teacher gage
where the student's knowledge about the topic is and what else needs to be learned.
Closure: The assessment at the end of the lesson will be the Jamboard that contains
the wonderings and questions of the students. The students are looking towards what can be
discovered. The teacher is looking for responses where students are asking themselves
questions that show that they want to deepen their understanding of vaping/e-cigarettes and
how they can affect the body.

specific chemicals within vapes can affect the circulatory and respiratory systems.

Formative and Summative Assessments (be sure these are visible in your plans below):
During: The assessment during the lesson will be the graphic organizer that students
will be filling out as they are completing their research. The graphic organizer asks for specific
effects of each chemical that can be found in a vape and there’s another organizer for the
information the students find in provided articles.
Closure: The assessment at the end of the lesson will be a summary that the students
are writing based on what they researched during the day. Students will be creating a “tweet”
where they summarize in 35 words or less, one effect that one chemical found in
vapes/e-cigarettes and its effect on either the circulatory system or the respiratory system. The
teacher is looking for responses that appeal to the audience of their own peers and have
language that is for that specific audience.

F. How are students working as a scientist to uncover understanding?


Students are working as scientists as they bring together all of the work that they have
been doing for the past few days which includes the data that they collected themselves and the
research that they’ve engaged in to understand vaping and the effects on the circulatory and
respiratory systems. They will organize and piece these components together to create a PSA
poster that helps to educate others on the effects of vaping on the circulatory and respiratory
system.

Formative and Summative Assessments (be sure these are visible in your plans below):
Closure: The assessment at the closure of the lesson will be a finalized PSA infographic
poster that students constructed. The teacher is looking for students to include the data and a
data analysis, descriptions as to how vapes can affect the circulatory and respiratory systems,
background research that they’ve discovered about vapes and their effects, as well what they
discovered in their surveys about why teens may vape.
