Today went as planned-almost! We began with a quiz: four types of tissues, difference between endocrine and exocrine, what connective tissue is designed to do, and three function of connective tissue with examples of different types. After the quiz we discussed the answers to these review questions. (Scroll down in the document for the questions.) We talked about the face plant article in the textbook. (Here is access to the 12th edition.) Then the kids completed a comparison of the main human body systems activity. I downloaded page four and had the kids brainstorm as many systems as possible; then they did as many structures and functions as possible. I like the kids to list these without the book, discuss them, and then use their textbooks. (The link to this activity has a key.) We used the eleven systems described at the end of Chapter Four. The kids are going to read the Chemmatters article on pain and OTC meds. Their homework is to study the path of blood through the heart (Chapt. 4), color in their anatomy textbooks the heart, and finish any work. We concluded by making clay hearts. I baked them. The only problem was the ACS sunscreen article was too hard. Below are a few pix of the kids making the hearts.
