They learned how to find and the importance of pulse, blood pressure, breath rate.

They even got a chance to attempt chest compressions on the mannequin.

Circulatory System - Structures and Functions of the Heart

Welcome to the introduction of the Circulatory System and today's focus on the structures and functions of the heart.

First I want you to complete the QFocus.  For this the person at the pink spot at the table group will be the recorder.  He/she will need their laptop and will record your questions into the correct Padlet below.  The student at the green spot will be the reporter for the table.  He/she will share out one or two of your questions with the group.  

QFocus: The organ of the heart is composed of many specific structures that allow for important functions within your body.

Second I want you to watch the video of the heart beating.

Task:

I want you to think about what kinds of things you witnessed in this short video.  
Why did it beat the way it did?  How many contractions does it look like it makes?
Did anything surprise you?  

Hybrid Medical Heart Beating - Click here to access

We will think-pair-share and have the person at the yellow spot report out a summary to the class.  

Third I want you to explore the following three sites and find the names and locations of the different structures in the heart.

3D Heart Link

National Geographic- Heart

On the provided Heart Diagram please label the:

1. 4 chambers of the heart

2. pulmonary vein and artery

3. 4 heart valves

4. sinoatrial nodes (S-A Node) and atrial-ventricular node (A-V Node)

5. septum

6. aorta

7. aortic arch

If done color code oxygen rich blood red and oxygen poor blood blue at it circultes throughout the heart.

Fourth If you complete the worksheet you can read the following article on current research using stem cells growing human hearts.

Here is a helpful video on the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration:

Here is a video on the processes of photosynthesis. Most of the stuff is "Want to know" rather than "Need to know". If you feel like you've got everything down and want to see the next level check it out! Hank Green is cool, but why does everyone talk so fast?

Be sure to spend some quality, focused time studying each night!

Continue Cell Energy- Cellular Respiration

Today in class, we will begin to shift our focus from photosynthesis to the process in which energy is made, cellular respiration. Let's start by reviewing the section in the Science Explorer text on the topic.

Cellular Energy and Processes

Photosynthesis & Respiration Introduction

Today in science we introduced our new unit on Photosynthesis.  Photosynthesis is the process by which a cell captures energy in sunlight and uses it to make its own food (a type of sugar called glucose).

As a class we focused on a few key terms to know when learning about photosynthesis such as autotrophs, heterotrophs, pigments, chlorophyll, and stomata.

Tomorrow, we will start to dive deeper into the the process of photosynthesis.  The reading for tonight will help reinforce our new understanding of how organisms get energy.  The reading will also introduce the two stages of photosynthesis.

Here is the link for the reading from our Science Explorer text.

Here is a great three minute video from Discovery's "Greatest Scientific Discovery" series that will introduce the experiments that enabled Priestly and Ingenhousz to "discover" photosynthesis.
