CONTENT OF THE LESSON
LESSON 1 – INTRODUCTION (MEANING OF CIRCULATORY SYSTEM)
The circulatory system is a network of organs and vessels that circulate blood throughout the body. It is made of independent systems that work together. These systems are the heart (cardiovascular), lungs (pulmonary), and arteries, veins, coronary and portal vessels (systemic).
Circulatory System Diagram
The key components of circulatory system are the heart, which pumps blood, and blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries) that carry blood to and from the heart. Circulatory system delivers essential substances like oxygen and nutrients to cells and removes waste products.
THE HUMAN HEART
The human heart is an organ that pumps blood throughout the body via the circulatory system, supplying oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and removing carbon dioxide and other wastes.
HOMEWORK – Draw and lebel the structure of the heart.
LESSON 2 – STRUCTURE OF THE HEART
The human heart has a four-chambered structure consisting of two atria (right and left) and two ventricles (right and left).
The right atrium and right ventricle together make up the “right heart,” and the left atrium and left ventricle make up the “left heart.” A wall of muscle called the septum separates the two sides of the heart.
The heart also has a network of blood vessels including arteries and veins that transport blood throughout the body.
HOMEWORK – Find out the functions of the heart.
LESSON 3 – FUNCTIONS OF THE HEART
The functions of the heart are as follows –
1. It is a muscular and pumping organ.
2. It pumps blood to other parts of the body.
3. It delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body.
4. It removes waste products from the body.
5. It maintains adequate blood pressure that’s necessary for proper blood circulation.
6. It regular the heart rate.
7. It circulates hormones and other vital substances throughout the body.
8. The pumping action keep human being alive.
PRESENTATION
To deliver the lesson, the teacher adopts the following steps:
1. To introduce the lesson, the teacher revises the previous lesson by asking the pupils questions based on what he/she has taught and why they have learnt.
2. Teacher organizes the pupils into two or more groups depending on the size of the class.
3. Teacher displays chart/poster showing human circulatory system for the pupils to identify and describe the flow of blood throughout the body.
Pupil’s Activities – The pupils identify and describe the flow of blood throughout the body.
4. Teacher uses the chart/model and the pupils relevant responses to introduce the lesson, leads a class discussion on the meaning of circulatory system.
Pupil’s Activities – The pupils pay attention to the lesson introduction and participate actively in the class discussion on the meaning of circulatory system.
5. Teacher uses chart showing the human heart or a model of human heart to lead a class discussion on the structure and functions of the heart.
Pupil’s Activities – The pupils participate actively in the class discussion and appreciate the important functions of the human heart to other parts of the body.
6. Teacher asks the pupils to draw and label the structure of the heart.
Pupil’s Activities – The pupils draw and label the structure of the heart.
7. Teacher summarizes the lesson on the board with appropriate evaluation.
Pupil’s Activities – The pupils participate actively in the summary of the lesson by responding correctly to most of the questions write as instructed.
CONCLUSION
To conclude the lesson for the week, the teacher revises the entire lesson and links it to the following week’s lesson – revision of first term’s lesson.
LESSON EVALUATION
Teacher asks pupils to:
1. define the human circulatory system.
2. draw and describe the human heart.
3. draw and label the structure of the heart.
4. briefly describe the structure of the heart.
5. state 5 functions each of the heart.
