13. http://www.brainpop.com/health/bodysystems/heart/

14. Read pages 4-7, 10-11 in the My Heart and Lungs

15. Discuss the structure of the heart: The heart is the size of a fist. It’s made of a very strong muscle. The heart is divided into four chambers: right auricle, right ventricle, left auricle, and left ventricle. A series of valves open to allow blood flow from one chamber to the next. A muscle wall called the septum separates the left and right side of the heart.

16. Never Skips a Beat activity on page 23 in Science is Fun book

17. Complete The Heart WS for INB

18. Color body page 113 in The Body Book according to the oxygenation of blood as it pumps throughout the body. Add this to the INB.

19. Locate pulse on wrist. Count the pulse for 15 seconds and multiple this by 4 to get beats per minutes (multiply beats per minute by 60 to get beats per hour, multiply this result by 24 to get beats in one day). Then run in place for 2 minutes. Check pulse again. Have students explain why pulse when up.

20. Create a model of the blood -add ingredients to a zip lock bag: Plasma = corn syrup, White blood cells = marshmallows, Platelets = rice, Red Blood Cells = red hots1.

a. Plasma The liquid part of the blood. About 90% of the plasma is water. The other 10% of plasma is made up of such items as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and mineral salts. These parts of plasma are responsible for growth (body tissues) and energy. b. Red Blood Cells The solid part of the blood. The red blood cells are the most numerous of the three types of cells. The function of the red blood cells is to carry oxygen from the lungs to different body tissues and to transport the carbon dioxide away from the tissues. Red cells contain a chemical called hemoglobin which absorbs oxygen and gives blood its red color. Blood which returns to the heart is a darkened red color due to the lack of oxygen. c. White Blood Cells White cells, also known as leukocytes, also make up the solid part of the blood. These cells serve a major purpose. They help fight off diseases by wrapping themselves around any dangerous microbe and engulfing it. White cells are not white but are of a colorless nature. d. Antibodies, which are blood proteins also aid in helping to fight off foreign invaders such as viruses. Antibodies also maintain the body’s immunity to disease by reacting to foreign substances before a disease can occur. e. Platelets They are tiny living colorless particles in the solid part of the blood that help form blood clots. Drops of blood coming out of a cut begin to thicken. They cling together. Instead of being liquid, the blood turns to a jelly that fills the cut completely. This jelly hardens, forming a seal which prevents blood from leaking out and prevents bacteria from creeping in. From the above information, students can see why blood is so important and so vital for life. The responsibility of the blood for transporting Op and C02 to all areas of the body is essential otherwise damage to cells and tissues can occur. 21. Dissect Sheep heart 22. Test
