Circulatory and Respiratory Study Guide

Standards Assessed:
In multicellular organisms, the body is a system of multiple interacting subsystems. These subsystems are groups of cells that work together to form tissues and organs that are specialized for particular body functions. (MS-LS1-3)

Topics Covered:
1. Structures and functions of the Circulatory System - Cover sheet and readings

2. Structures and functions of the Respiratory System - Cover sheet and readings

3. How do the circulatory and respiratory system work together to perform the gas exchange? - Work sheets, constructed responses, interactive links.

4. How do we breathe? - class simulation, worksheets, interactive links

5. How does the blood flow in the heart? - performance assessment, video on blog, worksheet

6. How do molecules of oxygen flow in the respiratory system from the outside air to the alveoli? - reading, questions.

Invasive Species and Ecology Review

Today students reviewed some ideas in ecology with the following questions.

Four check-in questions:

1. Compare and contrast a food web to a food chain.  Which is more realistic?  Why?

2. How does a modeling program like Ecobeaker help us in science?  What are its limitations (What can't it provide for us)?

3. List three different trophic levels found in an ecosystem.  Give a specific organism that can be linked to each of the levels and what it feeds on (how does it get its energy?).

4. How does the energy in a food chain transfer from one trophic level to another?  How much energy actually passes from one organism to another organism?

We also started to discuss the America's Most Unwanted Project.

Here is the link for the project

Here you will find resources, graphic organizers, and the rubric.

Monday September 30th and Tuesday October 1st

Students had a work day for their Greatest Scientific Discovery Projects.  Project page linked here.
Here are two important links to:

• Suggestions on Presentations and
• Greatest Scientific Discovery Rubric

We also had a review day in class and students organized materials together to study with.  

The key materials that should be reviewed are:

• Vocabulary of an experiment page. (see link)
• Check-in scenarios #1-5
• Readings: Bills' Cake, LifeSaver Article, Scientific Method Article
• Example experiment - Growth of plant and amount of sunlight.
• Penny Lab Post Lab and Aluminum Boat Post Lab.

The Quiz Format will be:

1. Short Answer

2. Matching 

3. Scenario given with questions (just like the Check-ins).

Good Luck and Happy Studying!
