Instructional Ideas
- Provide any 3-D models of cells, organs, and body systems available during the non-lab portions of this framework
- Use the WebQuest "The Organ Trail" to reinforce items of which the class should have prior knowledge
Classroom Considerations
- Use of the GIZMO presentations requires a subscription; schedule time in your school's library or computer lab if individual computers are not available in your classroom
- Flower dissections require one flower per student pair; buy a few extra, just in case
Pros
- The variety of approaches to mastery is refreshing and sure to keep class interesting
- Lab-based activities show a progression from novice to intermediate, giving pupils a sense of their growth in skill level
- Provides strong correlations between the levels of organization and organ functions that are commonly known
Cons
- None
