Anatomy Basics: There are lots of things you should understand before we jump into Anatomy. Today we will review those!
Objectives (TLWBAT):
Notes: There has been lots of group work and activities. I intended this to be how lessons are run to make them a little more interesting, interactive and fun. It will help you remember what we learned and build teamwork.
Math: While you will likely not see much (if any math) on the test for the event, it's still useful to think about how anatomical concepts can be modeled mathematically.
✔ Reviewed a math worksheet (found here) and discussed that these are just a few ways math can be applied to anatomy.
Chemistry: Having a basic understanding of chemistry is essential in anatomy. From atomic structure to macromolecules, knowing how atoms, molecules, ions, bonding and so forth affect anatomical systems is essential.
✔ Pick your favorite element activity. Pick an element, write its name, symbol, atomic number, atomic weight, number of protons/neutrons/electrons, number of valence electrons, classify it as a metal or nonmetal, note if it is in a special group (ex, alkali earth metal, halogen, noble gas, and so on), draw its Lewis structure. Used the chosen elements to discuss bonding (ionuc vs covalent, metallic) and organic vs. inorganic molecules.
✔ Macromolecule Jigsaw Activity. Students chose a macromolecule to quickly research and present a PowerPoint slide on. The completed presentation is linked below under presentation.
Cell Biology: Understanding cell biology can help us understand macroscopic processes starting at the microscopic level. We will better be able to understand how tissues, organs and organ systems work if we understand cell biology.
✔Watched this video
✔After the video was over we quickly reviewed cell theory and biological rules. Since I went through these really fast I have created a handout for you. I will print this out and bring it next time but you're more than welcome to save it for yourself.
✔Using the vocabulary from the video, we created a semantic map. It was awesome.
My goal is to have the team make a semantic map involving the integumentary, skeletal and muscular systems eventually.
Vocabulary: There are going to be a lot of terms thrown at you this year, so we're going to review several strategies to learn new vocabulary.
✔ We ended with a discussion about vocab. We talked about defining descriptive words vs. eponyms. I talked about how many words in anatomy are made up of parts with Latin and Greek roots and discussed the running vocab list and homework.
Presentation: Macromolecules
Homework: Vocabulary (due 11/11)

Objectives (TLWBAT):
- Understand the basics of math, chemistry and cell biology and how they relate to anatomy. The learner knows we will expand upon these concepts later in the year.
- Understand the importance of word roots and how they can be useful. The learner knows we will use several strategies to learn vocabulary through the year.
