the story of what happened. How did you get better? 6. Your bones, muscles, and joints keep you moving and grooving. How can you take care of each of these important body parts? ASSESSMENT: “You just kicked the game-winning goal, Mr. Knee Joint! How do you feel?” “Great. But you know, I couldn’t have done it without my bones, cartilage, muscles, ligaments, and tendons . . .” As the radio announcer for Body Parts Sports Network, you’ve seen a lot of great sports moments, but that goal kicked by number 44, Knee Joint, was on of the most exciting! It was so exciting, in fact, that you want to record the play-by-play commentary describing how the parts of the knee joint collaborated to make the game-winning goal. Include the following information:  The names of the bones that meet at the knee joint;  The jobs of all the parts of the knee (bones, cartilage, muscles, ligaments, and tendons); and  How these parts worked together to move the leg and kick the goal.

Lesson 2: Respiratory System

Extension: 1 The skeletal muscles in Mr. Knee Joint’s leg aren’t the only muscles working hard to help his body run smoothly. Select a different type of muscle in the human body; either muscle or cardiac muscle, and design a sports award that acknowledges the work these muscles do to help us play hard!

It’s time to play Take a Breath! But first, your group of 2 to 4 has to get the game ready by creating a set of Breath Cards. Check out the articles on KidsHealth to learn about the parts of the respiratory system that help you inhale and exhale, including your lungs, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, capillaries, diaphragm, and rib cage. Create a set of Breath Cards with a question about the respiratory system (there should be 20 questions per game) on the front of each card. Be sure to include the answers on the back! (For example: What keeps mucus and dirt out of your lungs? Answer: Cilia.) When all the Breath Cards are ready, place them (answer-side down!) next to the game board and play Take a Breath!

Lesson  Four:  The  Immune  System    

Learner  Outcomes:     Part  one:     Students  will  learn  about  the  parts  of  the   immune  system  and  how  they  function.  

In a group of 5, sit in a circle on the floor or at a table. Shuffle the Respiratory Relay Cards, and deal one to each person in your group. Going around the circle have each person read the card ad describe where that body part fits into the respiratory system. (Check out KidsHealth for information on how the respiratory system and your lungs work. You can make notes on the back of the card.) Then toss the beanbag or ball from person to person to match the order that oxygen would travel inside your body after you take a deep breath (starting with the trachea, or windpipe). As each person gets the beanbag, he or she needs to say the body part on his or her card and the body part that comes next. Do this a couple of times, then reshuffle, deal, and practice again. What happens to the order of the toss if you are exhaling? After you’ve practiced, the teacher will monitor the lights: Lights on means inhaling, lights off means exhaling. Can your group keep your beanbag or ball in the air, in the right order, for one minute? How many “breaths,” inhaling and exhaling does your group take in one minute?

Have your glands on the sides of your neck ever felt swollen? If so, describe how you were feeling at the time. What are those glands? Do you know why they were swollen? Shhh. OK, it looks like the coast is clear. ATTACK! You and some of your closest germ friends have just invaded a person’s body. You’re well on your way to causing a serious infection, but you run into a roadblock. The person’s immune system is fighting back! Your mission is suddenly at risk of failure! You need to use your radio to call Germ Headquarters and inform them of the situation. Using information in the articles at KidsHealth, write a dialogue back and forth between the invading germs and Germ Headquarters. In the dialogue, describe how the person’s immune system is trying to stop the germs from causing an infection. Include the following terms in your dialogue: white blood cells, spleen, bone marrow, lymph, and lymph nodes. Sniffle, sniffle. Cough. Sounds like you’re coming down with something. Well, your germ-fighting white blood cells will make you feel better fast. Uh-oh. You have a problem. You just received an urgent message from your spleen that you’re short on white blood cells! You’d better put a help wanted ad in the local paper to get some – and fast! Take a look at some ads from the newspaper or the Internet to get some ideas about what you should say in your ad. Then check out the articles on KidsHealth to find out about white bold cells. Now you’re ready to write an ad of your own. Include the following information.  A job description (what white blood cell will have to do on the job)  A list of qualifications (characteristics and skills that the white blood cell needs to have)  The benefits of the job (what the white blood cell will get for doing its job well) Good luck in hiring some qualified white bold cells before you get sick!

Record your findings on the Heart Rate Data Table and then answer a few questions. The handout contains five activities, each of which you’ll do for 30 seconds, 1 minute, and 3 minutes. After each time period, take your pulse and record that number in the chart. Assessment: Now it’s time to create a weekly exercise plan! You’ll have to do some research to find out not only how much but what kind of exercise is recommended to keep the cardiovascular system healthy. Also, use what you learned from your experiments to help create an exercise plan that you’ll be able to stick with. Plan what you will do for each day of the week and how long you will perform each activity. Grade 5 Unit 3 Health July/2012 Springfield Public Schools
