Part of Lesson Plan: Comparative Anatomy and Physiology

Activity Overview / Details

Imagine in your mind…close your eyes…rest, rest….hummm, a cookie sheet coming out of the oven with hot chocolate chip cookies, ice cold milk in a chilled cold glass, WOW, did you see it and feel it? I did! You did! Why? What organ system allowed you to remember and taste that cookie? Feel that cold glass of milk, taste each swirling around in your mouth? (students should be exact with their answers, nervous system, digestive system, integumentary system…)

We have listened, written, and determined how the organ systems of the human body work together to keep us alive! Think about that….what we take for granted everyday, breathing, digesting, walking, growing, thinking, running fast away from trouble, writing, throwing a ball, all happen because each of our human body is working hard for us…us! To simply keep us alive, coming to school, going fishing, seeing our friends, yes, as they say at Ripleys house, believe it or not….
