Human Body Regulation -Thermal Control
Grade Level:
12
Subject:
Grade 12 University Preparation Biology
Topic:
Homeostasis of Thermal Control of the Body
Objective:
The objective of this lesson is to demonstrate how the human body is capable of self regulating and maintaining a stable internal environment regardless of the changes in the immediate external environment. Students will be introduced to the concept of homeostasis, specifically thermal control, through the use of story telling, an interactive web activity, and by watching a video on "Fevers".
The main idea is to relate thermal control to something all the students could relate to, having a fever. Students will have the opportunity to look how the human body regulates temperature when fighting infections or viruses in the body.
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: understand the premise as to how the body regulates temperature and how a fever fights infections, explore ways as to how the body regulates homeostasis through different processes like thermal, water, ionic, and acid-base equilibrium, and explore how the environment can affect the body's ability to maintain homeostasis.
