For my first lesson I will begin to teach my students about the cell division of mitosis. This class lesson is targeted for introductory biology on the high school level. To visually stimulate my students I will use an interactive video of mitosis which is available on a website. http://www.cellsalive.com/mitosis.htm. This visual will help the students see the steps in slow motion from Interphase to Telophase. Including, this visual aid I will then teach the class step by step of what is actually occurring. The goal of this lesson is for the students to learn the different steps of mitosis and see mitosis in action on a simulated cell.
For my second lesson plan, I will be teaching my class about the circulatory system using the online website from thinkquest.org. This website has many tools that I could use while teaching this topic. This lesson once again is built from high school biology students. This website shows a diagram of the heart and labels the main parts of it. Also, there is an interaction video that shows the heart in action, which shows the blood moving throughout the heart and the heart expanding and contracting. This site is a useful tool because it allows the students to have another source of information that they can connect better to then just the textbook. http://library.thinkquest.org/25896/index.shtml
The third lesson plan idea is to use conduct an experiment where my students are dissecting a frog. I found a website that I can use which has great information on how to dissect the frog, what steps to take, what to look for etc. http://frog.edschool.virginia.edu/Frog2/. Also, this video will be used as a guide for myself, as the teacher and then will show the class how to do each step with my sample demenstration. This allows the class a visual on what to do rather than just words and procedures..
