Unit Theme: Anatomy

Grade Level: 5th grade

Lesson Theme: Body Parts (organs)

Objectives
        1. Students will be able to label where organs are from the view of the front of the body.
        2. Students will be able to state at least one function per organ.

Instructional Techniques
        - Short lecture
        - Individual work on website and handout

Instructional Materials
        - Website
        - Handout saying how many they got right and how many they got wrong as well as one function of the organ in that question.

Theoretical Perspective
        - It is important for my students to learn about their organs for a general sense of where things are in their body, and if they are injured or something          hurts, they are able to identify where the pain is and possibly identify why they are in pain.

Procedure
        - Introduction: I will show the students a diagram of the body showing the organs so they know that is what we are learning about next.
        - Step by Step
                > 1 hour lesson
                > 20 min
                    { Will explain to the students why it is important for them to know where their organs are and what they do for them.
                    { I'll then give them a handout that they can mark down what they got wrong and what they got right plus one fact per organ.
                > 40 min
                    { the students will spend the rest of the time on the website answering the questions and writing their fact about each organ.
        - Closure: Students will hand in their worksheet at the end of the lesson.
        - Adaptations
                > Include pictures and as well as writing in the question as to which organ do they have to identify.
                > If a student needs someone to read it to them out loud they can have someone do that.
                > Allows non English speaking students to learn about the names organs as well as their locations and functions.
Evaluation
        - Students will be able to label where the organs are from the view of the front of the body.
                >  They have to answer questions as to where the organs are.
        - Students will be able to state at least one function of the organ.
                > They have to write out one fact per organ after answering the question.
