STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS LESSON TOPIC:Class Mammalia BIG IDEAS: (Content standards, assessment anchors, eligible content) objectives, and skill focus)

•Apply appropriate instruments for a specific purpose and describe the information the instrument can provide. •Describe and compare structural and functional similarities and differences that characterize diverse living things.

UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS): ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS: •How is structure related to function at all biological levels of Students will understand: organization? •Describe ways technology (e.g., microscope, telescope, micrometer, hydraulics, •How does life result from chemical structure and function? barometer) extends and enhances human abilities for specific purposes. •Describe the structures of living things that help them function effectively in •How do organisms maintain a biological balance between their specific ways (e.g., adaptations, characteristics). internal and external environments? •Describe the structures of living things that help them function effectively in •How do different organisms obtain and use energy to survive specific ways (e.g., adaptations, characteristics). in their environment? •Describe the structures of living things that help them function effectively in specific ways (e.g., adaptations, characteristics). •How do organisms interact and depend on each other and their •Identify the levels of organization from cell to organism and describe how environment for survival? specific structures (parts), which underlie larger systems, enable the system to function as a whole. VOCABULARY: STUDENT OBJECTIVES (COMPETENCIES/OUTCOMES): Fetal pig Superficial Students will be able to: Incision -introduction to the anatomy of the fetal pig specimens. Anatomical features -discuss where fetal pig specimens come from and the ethics Directional terminology of dissection in the classroom. Placental mammals -pick partners, label bags, and obtain fetal pig specimens. Ratio -distinguish between the sexes of the fetal pig specimen. -determine the age of the specimen. -identify physical adaptations of pigs (hooves, nipples, -explore superficial incision of fetal pig specimens. - dissect into visceral cavity and tease away connective tissue in order to prepare specimen for further dissections. - compare epithelial, connective, and muscle tissue. -identify internal structures and anatomical features of the fetal pig. -practice stating and using directional terms as indicated by teacher. -measure, compare and contrast the length of the intestines of the fetal pig to that of humans. -investigate some of the anatomical properties of the fetal pig specimen. -continue stating and using directional terms as indicated by teacher. -begin reproductive system dissection and identification. -investigate some of the unique facts dealing with a variety of mammals. -discuss some of the adaptations found throughout the article. -differentiate between the variety of mammals and their characteristics. -classify PA wildlife according to characteristics. -group a variety of placental mammals in one of the 12 orders discussed in class.

STAGE II – ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS: PERFORMANCE TASK: #1. Summarizing Main Ideas •Daily question & answer between instructor & student #2. Open Ended Questions •Dissection techniques based upon instructor instructions. #3. Exit Tickets •Measuring length of intestines. Others: Basic understanding of prior & current knowledge of •Calculating ratios. material. Proper use of materials presented. •Read, discuss, & complete corresponding question to Article: Welcome to the Wonderful World of Mammals

STAGE III: LEARNING PLAN INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND INTERVENTIONS: ASSIGNMENTS: PROCEDURES: RESOURCES: A+ •Directional Terminology Active Engagements used: LCD Projector Test Corrections Quiz #1.

Build on Prior Knowledge Overhead video/still #2 . Guided Notes frame camera. Others: Compound light microscopes. Describe usage: Zoology deals Dissection microscopes. with the comparative anatomy of the animal phyla, along with how each phyla is more complex the CONTENT AREA the previous discussed; therefore, READING: the use of prior knowledge is a key.
