Instructional Ideas
- Print the first page of the resource and distribute it to the class so they can create their own block diagrams of a homeostatic system
- Incorporate body system diagrams into the lesson to help students relate structure to function
Classroom Considerations
- The lesson requires extensive knowledge of feedback systems and the parts of the body that contribute to thermoregulation
- Consider breaking the block diagrams into chunks to build an understanding of the cause and effect that occurs during homeostasis
Pros
- The resource gives learners an in-depth look at the mechanisms involved in maintaining body temperature under a variety of circumstances
- Activities included with the plan allow pupils to create their own virtual homeostatic circuits using an interactive
Cons
