Human Physiology Chapter 2-4 Activities

Principles of Chemistry Lab (Pairs) 6 pts

  • Explore the unique characteristics of exothermic reactions.

Organic Molecule Project (Pairs) 12 pts

  • Create a poster/project describing all four classes of organic molecules: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
  • Include the following for each group of organic molecules:

Functions of the molecule within the body.

Chemical structure of the molecule including basic and complex structures.

Where and how we get the molecule into our body.

Examples of the molecule.

Virtual Cell (Pairs) 4 pts

  • Complete the virtual cell handout.

DNA Model (Pairs) 6 pts

  • Complete the DNA model lab and verbal quiz.
Cell Processes Project (Tables) 10 pts
  • Choose one set of cell processes and create a simple poster describing that process. The posters will be hung around the room to be used during the unit test, so make them easy to read.

Cellular Transport Model (Pairs) 8 pts

  • Create a poster/paper describing tonicity of solutions and passive and active transport mechanisms. Draw or find simplified pictures for each process and provide a written description describing that process.
  • Tonicity: isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic
  • Passive Transport mechanisms: simple diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion
  • Active Transport mechanisms: exocytosis, endocytosis, pinocytosis, and phagocytosis

Book Work (Individual) 10 pts

  • P. 47-48 review exercises 4, 5, 7-9,12,15,19,22-24,27-31. Critical Thinking 1-3

  • p. 90 review exercises 3-9, 12-21. Critical Thinking 2,7

Unit test may be taken individually or in pairs. All of your work may be used during the test.

Schedule

Day 1

  • Receive body system and medical field
  • Begin researching body system and coming up with ideas for movie

Day 2

  • All groups may start filming, especially Skeletal, Muscular, Integumentary, and Nervous!
  • Work on medical field paper, which may need to be finished at home.

Day 3

  • Skeletal, Muscular, Integumentary, and Nervous system groups will be using the iMac video computers; Skeletal and Muscular the first half, Integumentary and Nervous the second half. When not on the Imac, work on the two labs.
  • Circulatory and Respiratory will be working on the two labs
  • Digestion and Excretion will begin with the Human Body: The Ultimate Machine video and then work on the On Line activities.

Day 4

  • Skeletal, Muscular, Integumentary, and Nervous system groups will be using the iMac video computers; Skeletal and Muscular the first half, Integumentary and Nervous the second half. This will be it unless another group does not need as much time. When not on the Imac, work on the two labs.
  • Digestion and Excretion will be working on the two labs.
  • Circulatory and Respiratory will begin with the Human Body: The Ultimate Machine video and then work on the On Line activities.

Day 5

  • Digestion, Excretion, Circulatory, and Respiratory system groups will be using the iMac video computers; Digestion and Excretion the first half, Circulatory and Respiration the second half. When not on the Imac, work on whatever you have not finished.
  • Skeletal and Muscular will be working on the two labs and/or the On Line activities.
  • Integumentary and Nervous will begin with the Human Body: The Ultimate Machine video and then work on the On Line activities.

Day 6

  • Digestion, Excretion, Circulatory, and Respiratory system groups will be using the iMac video computers; Digestion and Excretion the first half, Circulatory and Respiration the second half. This will be it unless another group does not need as much time. When not on the Imac, work on whatever you have not finished.
  • Integumentary and Nervous will be working on the two labs and/or the On Line activities.
  • Skeletal and Muscular will begin with the Human Body: The Ultimate Machine video and then work on the On Line activities.
