3) Share your thoughts on the importance of physical activity for overall health.

EXPLAIN:

Activity 1 - Engage students in a discussion about the importance of the circulatory

system in distributing nutrients and oxygen throughout the body.

Activity 2 - Conduct a demonstration showing how the heart pumps blood and how
bones provide support and protection for organs.

Activity 3 - Lead a group activity where students identify the major bones in the body
and explain their functions.

ELABORATE:
[Teaching Strategy: Inquiry-Based Learning]

Task 1 - Research and create a poster showcasing the different types of blood
vessels in the circulatory system.

Task 2 - Design a fitness routine that focuses on improving both cardiovascular

health and bone strength.

Supporting Material 1 - Provide a scientific article on the importance of calcium

intake for bone health.

Supporting Material 2 - Share a video demonstrating proper posture to maintain

skeletal health.

EVALUATE:

[Teaching Strategy: Problem-Based Learning]

[Instructional Materials: Interactive quizzes]

Question 1 - Identify the components of the circulatory system and explain their
functions.

Question 2 - How do bones support the body and protect internal organs?

Question 3 - Describe the role of red blood cells in the circulatory system.

H.O.T.S.:

Question 1 - Why is it crucial for the circulatory system to maintain a constant flow of
blood throughout the body?

Answer 1 - Consistent blood flow ensures that all cells receive oxygen and nutrients
for proper functioning.

Question 2 - How does physical activity impact both the circulatory and skeletal
systems?

Answer 2 - Exercise helps improve blood circulation and strengthens bones to

prevent osteoporosis.

Question 3 - Discuss the implications of a sedentary lifestyle on cardiovascular and

bone health.

Answer 3 - Lack of physical activity can lead to reduced bone density and increased
risk of heart disease.
EXTEND:

[Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Learning]

[Instructional Materials: Virtual field trip resources]

Use-case 1 - Students apply their knowledge of the circulatory system to create a

health plan for a fictional character with heart issues.

Use-case 2 - Organize a science fair where students present innovative ways to

promote cardiovascular health and bone strength.
