Lesson: Trachea Transplant Article
Teacher: |
Kaylan Duthie |
Unit Theme/Course: |
Human Respiration – 7th Grade Life Science |
Date: |
November 17th |
Timing: |
1 Day |
Rationale/Goal:
· Students will read a current events article to learn about science and technology in society having to do with the respiratory system
Overview:
This can potentially be used at any point throughout the unit, though typically after some vocabulary and introduction has been done. Students will read a newspaper article about a trachea transplant, and learn about what science and technology can do for the health field.

Assessment
Criteria |
Students will learn about the process of using stem cells to help with an organ transplant |
Explains that donor windpipe was prepared by removing all the tissue leaving just cartilage. Tissue from the patient is used to prevent rejection. |
Standard/EALR:
6-8 SYSA |
Any system may be thought of as containing subsystems
and as being a subsystem of a larger system. |
Given a system, identify subsystems and a
larger encompassing system (e.g., the heart is a system made up
of tissues and cells, and is part of the larger circulatory system). |
6-8 LS1C |
Multicellular organisms have specialized cells that perform different functions.
These cells join together to form tissues that give organs their
structure and enable the organs to perform specialized functions within
organ systems. |
Relate the structure of a specialized cell (e.g., nerve and
muscle cells) to the function that the cell performs. Explain the relationship between tissues that make up
individual organs and the functions the organ performs (e.g., valves
in the heart control blood flow, air sacs in the lungs maximize
surface area for transfer of gases). Describe the components and functions of the digestive,
circulatory, and respiratory systems in humans and how these systems
interact. |
6-8 APPC |
Science and technology are
interdependent. Science drives technology
by demanding better instruments and suggesting ideas for new
designs. Technology drives science
by providing instruments and research methods. |
Give examples to illustrate how scientists have helped
solve technological problems (e.g., how the science of biology has helped sustain fisheries) and how
engineers have aided science (e.g.,
designing telescopes to discover distant planets. |
