Cardiovascular and Respiratory Responses

Grade Level:
11
Subject:
Biology 3U
Topic:
Animals: Structure and Function
Objective:
After learning about the cardiovascular and respiratory system, students will have the opportunity to explore the relationship between the two systems. They will be using a variety of senses (feeling and listening) to explore this relationship. As discussed by Reis (2015), students will have the opportunity to use their senses to make meaning of the science around them.

Curriculum Expectations:
E2.2 perform a laboratory or computer-simulated dissection of a representative animal, or use a mounted anatomical model, to analyse the relationships between the respiratory, circulatory, and digestive systems [PR, AI]
E2.3 Use medical equipment (e.g., a stethoscope, a sphygmomanometer) to monitor the functional responses of the respiratory and circulatory systems to external stimuli (e.g., measure the change in breathing rate and heart rate after exercise) [PR, AI]
Prep:
None entered.
Materials:
Spygmomanometers (12-15)
Stethoscopes (12-15)
