Okay, so I have already started. Although, this is a lesson. All the work in white, needs to be reworded but the blye is from the templayte you need to chnage which applies to my lesson. You need to reword/ rewrite and do appedneix b not c. this is what Ai put together, just rework it no ai

Unit Title: Human Body Systems Circulatory System

Context

Grade Level/Subject:

6th Grade Science

IDEA Disability Categories Represented:

Students in the classroom may include learners with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or students who require additional instructional support.

Type of Classroom (continuum of placements):

General education science classroom.

Specific Classroom Requirements (Curriculum, Program, Technology):

Students use Chromebooks during science instruction to access digital simulations such as the ExploreLearning Gizmo. Lessons include guided worksheets, discussion, and visual models to help students understand human body systems.

Learning Segment Components

Essential Question

How does the circulatory system transport oxygen and nutrients throughout the body?

NJ Student Learning Standards (NJSLS Science)

MS-LS1-3

Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells.

This lesson focuses on understanding how the circulatory system functions as one subsystem that supports overall body processes.

Summative Assessment

Students will complete the Whats in Your Blood? labeling diagram, where they identify and explain the functions of blood components including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, plasma, and hemoglobin.

Lesson Title

Exploring the Circulatory System

Mastery Objectives (SWBAT)

Students will be able to:

Identify the path of blood flow through the heart and circulatory system.

Describe how blood moves through the heart, lungs, and body.

Analyze the functions of the major components of blood.

Contexts Considered When Building This Lesson

This lesson is part of a larger unit on human body systems and how they work together to maintain normal body functions. Prior to this lesson, students explored the excretory system and how the body removes waste. Students have also learned about the cardiovascular system and blood vessels such as arteries, veins, and capillaries.

Students may have misconceptions about how blood moves through the body or may not understand the different roles of blood components. The simulation and visual diagrams help students better understand how blood flows through the circulatory system and how blood cells contribute to body functions.

Academic Language Demands & Supports

Identified Language Demands

Vocabulary

Students previously learned vocabulary related to blood vessels including:

• arteries
• veins
• capillaries

During this lesson students will apply that knowledge while learning additional vocabulary related to blood components including:

• red blood cells
• white blood cells
• platelets
• plasma
• hemoglobin

Syntax

Students will answer structured questions and complete labeled diagrams explaining the components of blood and how blood travels through the circulatory system.

Discourse

Students will discuss observations from the simulation and explain how blood moves through the body and how different blood components support circulation.

Lesson Plan Procedures

Duration: 5 minutes

Anticipatory Set

The teacher begins the lesson by activating prior knowledge about the circulatory system. Students are asked:

• What do you remember about the cardiovascular system?
• What are arteries, veins, and capillaries?

Students briefly discuss their ideas with a partner before sharing responses with the class.

The teacher explains that students previously learned about blood vessels and that todays lesson will focus on what blood is made of and how blood moves through the body.

Accommodations for Students with IEPs or Struggling Learners

Students who need additional support will be provided with a labeled reference diagram of the circulatory system to help connect prior knowledge to the lesson.

Duration: 20 minutes

Gizmo Simulation

Students log into the ExploreLearning Circulatory System Gizmo simulation using their Chromebooks.

Students will:

• observe blood flow through the heart
• identify chambers of the heart
• trace the path of blood through the heart and lungs
• analyze oxygen and carbon dioxide levels

Students complete the simulation worksheet while working through the activity. The teacher circulates around the classroom to guide students and answer questions.

Accommodations for Students with IEPs or Struggling Learners

Students who need additional support will receive step-by-step directions for completing the simulation and may work with a partner. The teacher will check in with these students individually to clarify instructions.

Duration: 10 minutes

Blood Slide / Blood Cell Review

Students review blood slide images or diagrams shown during the lesson.

Students identify:

• red blood cells
• white blood cells
• platelets

The teacher explains the function of each blood component and how these cells support the circulatory system.

Students record observations on their worksheet.

Accommodations for Students with IEPs or Struggling Learners

Students who need additional support will receive a labeled reference sheet of blood cells to help identify each structure.

Duration: 10 minutes

Blood Diagram Activity

Students complete the Whats in Your Blood? worksheet.

Students label the components of blood and match each component with its function.

Students apply what they observed in the simulation and blood slide review to explain how these components support the circulatory system.

Accommodations for Students with IEPs or Struggling Learners

Students who need additional support will receive a vocabulary word bank and may be provided additional time to complete the worksheet.

Duration: 5 minutes

Closure

The lesson concludes with a whole-class discussion.

The teacher asks:

• Why are red blood cells important?
• What happens to blood when it travels through the lungs?
• How does the circulatory system help the body function?

Students summarize how blood transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste throughout the body.

Accommodations for Students with IEPs or Struggling Learners

Students who need additional support may respond verbally rather than writing their response and may be provided with sentence starters.

Homework / Assignment for Next Class

Students will complete the Whats in Your Blood? labeling diagram during class. If students do not finish labeling the diagram during the lesson, they will complete the activity for homework.
