Overview

In this lesson, I will learn about amphibians and how they are similar in some aspects to humans and different in others. I will use a computer-simulated dissection of a frog to locate and describe various organs of the digestive and circulatory systems.

Lesson 5 Learning Goals

This is what you are going to learn about. At the end of this module you will:

Understand and use scientific theory and procedure;
Explain the interaction of different systems within an organism and why such interactions are necessary for the organism’s survival;
Assess the importance of medical imaging technology to human health and assess the importance of public health strategies.

Essential Success Criteria

This is how you are going to show me what you have learned: You will be able to:

1. Demonstrate scientific investigation skills (related to both inquiry and research) in the four areas of skills (initiating and planning, performing and recording, analyzing and interpreting, and communicating);
2. Investigate animal organ systems, by using a virtual microscope and watching dissection videos.
