An Internal System
Learning Objectives
- Identify the internal structures of a tiger and their specific functions.
- Explain how the lungs and heart work together to circulate oxygen and remove carbon dioxide in a tiger.
- Describe the process of food digestion and nutrient absorption in a tiger's digestive system.
- Recognize the role of bones, joints, and muscles in enabling movement and protecting internal organs in a tiger.
- Understand how the internal and external structures of a tiger work together to support survival in the wild.
Introduction and Hook
Discuss the learning objectives, emphasizing the interconnectedness of internal structures like the heart, lungs, and digestive system in a tiger.
Direct Instruction
Explain the function of the tiger's lungs and heart in oxygen circulation and carbon dioxide removal. Use diagrams to illustrate these processes.
Describe the tiger's digestive process, from food intake to nutrient absorption, using visual aids to enhance understanding.
Guided Exploration
Engage students with a video on internal animal structures, focusing on how these structures support survival. This visual aid will help solidify their understanding.
Facilitate a discussion on how the tiger's bones, joints, and muscles enable movement and protect vital organs.
Hands-On Activity
Conduct a hands-on activity where students model a tiger's internal system using craft materials to represent organs and their functions.
Use the 'Design and Build an Exoskeleton' assessment to explore how structures can be adapted for different functions.
Independent Practice
Assign students to research and present on a specific internal structure of a tiger, detailing its function and importance.
Check for Understanding
Use the 'Internal Animal Structures' assessment to evaluate students' understanding of the tiger's internal anatomy.
Review and Reflection
Conduct a class discussion to review how the internal and external structures of a tiger work together for survival.
Encourage students to reflect on what they learned about the interconnectedness of animal systems.
Assessment and Extension
Administer the 'Review – Animal Structures and Functions' assessment to test students' comprehension of the lesson.
Try the Quiz
Encourage students to explore further by researching other animals with unique internal systems and presenting their findings.
