Teacher Instructions:

1. Students fill in the above worksheet while viewing Power Point2. Students can work in groups when answering structure and function questions, as they view the

Power Point. This may speed up the process and give everyone something to write on their worksheets.

3. The last table they should fill in what organs are found in each of the 11 body systems.4. Homework should be:

a. the last question under organ systems. Choose an organ system and explain how the structure contributes to its function.

b. to answer the “Big Question”c. For Interactive Notebook: Answers on the left side of notebook, along with a color graphic

of some sort5. Following day:

a. Students share responsesb. Students to apply what they learned about the structure and function of the human body

to another organism, such as a plant, bird, fish, etc
