fitness goals as to motivate, gain fitness
knowledge, and encourage life-long healthy life
styles.

Lesson Objectives (i.e. anticipated outcomes of this lesson, in point form beginning with an action verb)
As a result of this lesson, students will be able to:
Identify the key anatomical components in the circulatory system (including accurate spelling and
pronunciation of organs, and their relationship with one another and the body).
Investigate personal resting heart rate (RHR) through the use of physical activity.
Apply knowledge of the respiratory system and resting expiration rate (RHR) to everyday life including,
energy and food, heart health, drinking water, personal fitness and peer fitness.
Teachers Prior Preparation/Organisation:
Liaise with Mentor approximately 2 days before
scheduled lesson to allow for editing and improvement
of lesson plan if necessary

Students have Health Work Book in class.

Label the Diagram (Appendix 1) is scanned, loaded
and projected onto interactive whiteboard
Electronic timer is ready on whiteboard
Teacher has Teachers Copy of Health work book with
answers

Provision for students at educational risk:

Students with learning difficulties (including but not
limited to dyslexia, dyspraxia, low level
concentration, and/or low level cognitive ability) will
be catered for through the interactive Label the
diagram activity on the white board. Anatomical
names will be increased in size on the whiteboard
to allow for students to read with ease. Its
interactive nature (in conjunction with written
activities) should allow for greater understanding of
the topic.
Students who are gifted and/or talented will have
benefit from the numerical aspects of the lesson as
they calculate and compare (optional) their
personal resting heart rate (RHR) with the RHR of
their peers.

Assessment: (Were the lesson objectives met? How will these be judged?)

Identify the key anatomical components in the circulatory system (including

accurate spelling and pronunciation of organs, and their relationship with
one another).
To meet the objective students must possess the ability to recognise and explain
key anatomical organs and their use in the circulatory system. Students must
participate in class Label of Diagram activity to demonstrate their ability.

Investigate personal resting heart rate (RHR) through the use of physical
activity.
To meet this objective, students will participate in the Circulation and Exercise
activity and enter appropriate information into their Health work book.

Apply knowledge of the respiratory system and resting expiration rate

(RHR) to everyday life including, energy and food, heart health, drinking
water, personal fitness and peer fitness.
To be evaluated through verbal assessment and written work in Health work
book.
