Lesson 5

The Heart
Lesson plan:
Lesson # Circulatory System in
a series of Heart lessons
Brief Lesson Description: The heart is one part of circulatory system. Its consist from many
parts which have functions to contribute on heart working. The heart is in the center of the
human chest and its careen a little to the left side. There are 4 chambers on the heart where
2 chambers on the left side of the heard and other 2 on the right side of the heart. The 2
sides (left and right sides) of the heart are working on separate (working on opposite way)
but they are working on the same time. These opposite way of the 2 sides help the heart to
work on regularity way. Where the right side carry the deoxygenated blood to the lungs and
the left side carry the oxygenated blood to the rest organs on the body like head and neck.
Performance Expectation(s): Develop and use a model to describe the function of a cell as a
whole and ways parts of cells contribute to the function. (The students able to locate the
heart parts and know how it work through the heart model).
Specific Learning Outcomes:
What are the heart parts?
What is the function of each part?
How the heart work?
Narrative / Background Information
Prior Student Knowledge:
The students know what are the heart parts? (From the previous lesson).
Grade/ Grade Band: 6B2

Topic: Heart

Science & Engineering

Practices:
Developing and Using
Models. Develop and use a
model to describe
phenomenon. (MS-LS1-2).

Disciplinary Core Ideas:

Structure and Function (heart
parts and its function). In
multicellular organisms, the
body is a system of multiple
interacting subsystems. These
subsystems are groups of
cells that work together to
form tissues and organs that
are specialized for particular
body functions. (MS-LS1-3)

Through heart model the

students able to deep their
understanding of the heart
working. Always the
touching materials help
students to develop their
thinking and experiences.

Crosscutting Concepts:
Structure and Function.
Complex and microscopic
structures and systems can be
visualized, modeled, and used
to describe how their function
depends on the relationships
among its parts, therefore
complex natural structures/
systems can be analyzed to
determine how they function.
(MS-LS1-2)

The heart parts are working

together to allow the heart to (Model of heart and its parts to
work and to carry the blood
describe how the heart work).
to the whole body.
Possible Preconceptions/Misconceptions: Students may have a problem on knowing which
side of the heart is carry the deoxygenated blood and which side carry the oxygenated blood.
Also, they may have a problem on which kind of the blood is go to the lungs and which one

go to the body. (That may confused them). I will explain that to them on the heart model
which may help them to label these points in their minds.
LESSON PLAN 5-E Model
ENGAGE: Opening Activity Access Prior Learning / Stimulate Interest / Generate
Questions:
Discussion with whole class about the heart
How can you increase your heart beats?
Sport activity
Divide the students into two parts.
Put a leader for each group.
Each team should follow their leaders. (Do what he do).
The leader do any sport exercise that increase the heart beats for one minute.
The teacher and students will evaluate which group is win.
The winner group will get a point to their evaluation board.
EXPLORE: Lesson Description Materials Needed / Probing or Clarifying Questions:
Heart model (I will bring it from the school science lab) and through it students will locate the
heart parts.

How many parts do you see in the heart model?

Which part of the heart carry the deoxygenated blood to the lungs?
Which valve allow the oxygenated blood to move from left atrium to the left
ventricle?
Which side of the heart allow the blood to go to the whole body?
EXPLAIN: Concepts Explained and Vocabulary Defined:
On the heart model I will help students to explain:
How the heart work?
Vocabulary:
-Oxygenated

-Deoxygenated

-Vena Cava

-Pulmonary Vein

-Right Atrium

-Left Atrium

-Tricuspid Valve

-Mitral Valve

-Right Ventricle

-Left Ventricle

-Pulmonary Valve

-Aortic Valve

-Pulmonary Artery

-Aorta

-Lungs

-Body

ELABORATE: Applications and Extensions: Worksheet: write a summary of How your heart
works? (As a group).
EVALUATE:
Create a heart phenomenon by using clays (as a group). Then label each part of the heart.
After I will evaluate each group on specific standards.
Formative Monitoring (Questioning / Discussion): What are heart parts? How the heart
working?
Summative Assessment (Quiz / Project / Report): Do a heart phenomenon.

Reflection:

On today lesson, I think it was a little bit successful. Where I did all my objective
(activities) for today. All activities was going well, while I faced some problem with
students behavior. But I used a several strategy to control them such as hands up
and counting to 5. Addition to that, the things that satisfy me in this lesson was
that I done all of my objective (activities) despite I have a students misbehavior.
