Standard 5

7Sc.2: Recall the major organs of the human body and their function within their particular body system. 

  Lesson on the Major Organs and their Functions For the Human Body

Title-Major Organs and their Functions for Homeo Sapiens! 




Group Demonstration

1) The students will be put into groups of 2.

2) They will do a think-pair-share-they will read the introduction section to their body packet, taking turns and stopping and discussing and review how certain cells turn into tissue which builds up into organs which build into systems

3) The students will then pick one organ from each system from their packet and in a table, list the organ in their group of 2 then look for the function under that organs system section.

4) The group will then pick one organ to focus on, make an illustration of it (using trace paper) and describe its function

- packet can be made according to the teachers discretion based on systems of the body

-Trace paper, pencil, markers, construction paper, pictures of the human bodies organs

       1)     The teacher will model with a co-teacher or student how to read and stop, discussing the highlights of what was read and how it applies to their body
        2)     The teacher will then model how to pick an organ, place it in the table using the Elmo and Smart Board, and explain it’s function
       3)     The teacher will show her illustration of the kidney and the explanation underneath of how it filters and cleans our blood to remove waste.



Question 1-
       1)     Name one organ from each system and explain it’s function
Example- heart- pumps dirty and clean blood to and from the lungs and other systems
Question 2-                   
       2)     What would happen if the  kidneys or another organ failed? How would that affect the entire body System?
    If one organ, such as the kidneys, shut down in the human body, then the entire body would eventually shut down. The human body is a system, like a close-circuit, and if one organ does not function, then the rest will stop functioning as well- they all depend on each other in some way.
