Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How are the heart and the lungs adapted to circulate oxygen and carbon dioxide around the body?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Students should know the structure and functioning of the human heart and lungs
  2. how lungs are adapted for gaseous exchange.
  3. The heart is an organ that pumps blood around the body in a double circulatory system.
  4. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs where gas exchange takes place. The left ventricle pumps blood around the rest of the body.
  5. Knowledge of the blood vessels associated with the heart is limited to the aorta, vena cava, pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein and coronary arteries. Knowledge of the names of the heart valves is not required.
  6. Knowledge of the lungs is restricted to the trachea, bronchi, alveoli and the capillary network surrounding the alveoli.
  7. The natural resting heart rate is controlled by a group of cells located in the right atrium that act as a pacemaker.
  8. Artificial pacemakers are electrical devices used to correct irregularities in the heart rate.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • Ventricles: Lower chambers of the heart that pump the blood out of the heart. (1)
  • Atria: Upper chambers of the heart that collect blood. (1)
  • Double Circulatory System: A double loop circulatory system has 2 loops with oxygen-poor blood and oxygen-rich blood, that don't mix. (1)
  • Exchange Surface: Specially adapted part of an organism for the movement of chemicals across it, often to and from the blood. (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What is the structure and function of each of the following: a) heart, b) lungs?
    The structure and function of the heart and lungs are: a) Heart - muscle, 4 chambers, left and right side, function is to pump blood around the body. b) lungs - large surface area, gas exchange surface.
  2. How are lungs adapted for gaseous exchange?
    The lungs are adpated for gas exchange as they have a large surface area, moist lining, copious blood supply, maintain concetration gradient (ventilation and blood moving through), short diffusion distance.
  3. How is blood pumped around the body in the human circulatory system?
    The blood is pumped around the body in a double circulatory system.
  4. Where does the left ventricle pump blood to and where does the right ventricle pump to?
    The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs where gas exchange takes place. The left ventricle pumps blood around the rest of the body.
  5. What are the names and functions of the blood vessels in the heart?
    The main structures in the heart and their functions are: Aorta: a thick walled artery that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body Vena Cava: a thinner walled vein that carries deoxygenated blood back to the heart Pulmonary artery: a thick walled artery that carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart to the lungs Coronary arteries: carry oxygenated blood to the heart muscle
  6. What are the names and functions of the main structures in the lungs?
    The main structures in the lungs and their functions are: Trachea: is a wide, hollow tube that connects the larynx (or voice box) to the bronchi of the lungs Bronchi: main passage of air into the lungs Alveoli: tiny sacs with large surface area that allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to move between the lungs and bloodstream Capillary network: very thin blood vessels that surround the avleoli for rapid gas exchange
  7. What controls the natural resting heart rate?
    The natural resting heart rate is controlled by a group of cells located in the right atrium that act as a pacemaker.
  8. What are artificial pacemakers?
    Artificial pacemakers are electrical devices used to correct irregularities in the heart rate.

Remember to check for PROGRESS
Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
