Living Science Chapter 13-15

Life Science
Here is the link to the slide



chapter 13
Living Sciences: resources for teaching Living Science:

I learn best by visual tactics.  Science is hard enough of a subject to learn as it is based on many facts and concepts. While teaching students science, I know I will use technology, posters, visuals and other tools to help students understand the principles of life science.  Asking studens to read and be expected to understand is a daunting task.  Science should be an inquiry based learning experience.   

  8 Characteristics of Life
















system- group of organs that work together to perform a major function

  • In humans, systems include skeletal system, muscular system, respiratory, nervous system, excretory and reproductive systems.  
Classifying Living Things







Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom includes the invertebrates (animals with backbones, including hydra, jellyfishes, corals worms, mollusks, and jointed-leg animals) and vertebrates (animals with backbones, including fish, frogs, birds, and mammals). 




Chapter 14

The Human Body

The Digestive System:

  • the process through which the body breaks down the molecules that make up the food that has been eaten and prepares them to react with oxygen to produce energy. 
Skeletal-Muscular system:

Respiratory System:

Again, the importance of using multi-sensory tools to help teach science.  Visual aids are an important tool in learning science.  

Chapter 15
Lesson Ideas
Ideas for Unit topics should align with Next Generation standards and school curriculum, text books, workshops, and student discussions.  Begin with a Unit Title, then create a question for students to explore.  this question serves as the anchor for the unit.  Inquiry lesson of the unit should contribute to a deeper, more comprehensive answer to the unit question.  An Inquiry-based lesson helps to engage students in exploring the topic and makes connection with prior knowledge and new information.  It also provides them freedom and responsibility of their own learning.
