Thursday/Friday October 24-25

Today we gave each group of students system and organ cards.  Based on prior knowledge, students tried to place organs in the correct system.  We then went over the correct information and wrote it in our notebooks.  We will then begin taking notes on each system.  Students will know the function of the systems, the organs in each system, and the function of each organ.

After bellwork we took time for each group to describe one organ they thought they got correct on their body diagrams.  After we took a look at how the organs are actually positioned in the body.  A diagram is below.  We then took notes on the functions of 5 of the systems in our bodies.
I've also attached other Cover pages that were shared!
