Anatomy and Physiology Unit 1: Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology
Daily Plans are Linked Here
What We Did in Class Today - notes, etc
Unit Driving Questions
- How are the smallest pieces of the human body connected to the largest?
- Why is common language important in describing and understanding the anatomical organization and physiology of the human body?
Understandings
- The human body is a very complex collection of atoms organized into an elaborate organism.
- An understanding of the terminology used to communicate about the human body is important to everyone who works with and owns one.

Ohio Standards**
Science Inquiry and Application
- Identify questions and concepts that guide scientific investigations
- Design and conduct scientific investigations
- Use technology and mathematics to improve investigations and communication
- Formulate and revise explanations and models using logic and evidence (critical thinking)
- Recognize and analyze explanations and models, and
- Communicate and support a scientific argument
AP.LO: LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION
- Hierarchy of Organization
- the increasing complexity of cells as they are organized into tissues.
- Several tissue types make up an organ.
- Several organs work together make up an organ system.
- All the organ systems interact and form the human body.
- Anatomical Terminology
- Standard anatomical position is to be used as a reference point.
- Each area of the human body is identified by region.
- The features and structures of the body, relative to each other, are described by directional terms.
- The body and its organs can be divided by planes.
- The organs are located in cavities.

- Students rotate roles; Reader assigned initially based on AIR scores and teacher knowledge of students
- Role rotation gives each student the opportunity to hear, read, speak, and write academic language
- Station activities offer choice of process and/or product
- Grapic organizer template (accomodation)
- Students revise after initial feedback on drafts
- Graphs are made on desmos.com or on paper, student choice
