Description
Thanksgiving dinner wreaks havoc on the body! In this research-style lesson, students relate a traditional holiday meal to Anatomy & Physiology class. Effects on the nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system, and circulatory system are all included. What a great way for them to bring home new content knowledge!
This makes a great addition to my Full Anatomy & Physiology Curriculum or Full Biology Curriculum!
Three versions of the lesson are provided:
- Reading lesson- Students read the passage provided and answer comprehension questions about each body system.
- Traditional web-quest- Students use links provided to find information from web-pages and videos to answer comprehension questions.
- Digital (perfect for iPads or Chromebooks)- A Google link is provided for students to make a digital copy of the worksheet. They use embedded links to research answers to the comprehension questions.
The variety of options allows this activity to fit well as a warm-up, homework assignment, holiday lesson, or sub activity!
Included are 5 links to provide content showing students how overeating can affect various body systems. The topics researched include:
Digestive system (rugae, stomach size and function, heartburn, lower esophageal sphincter, stomach acid), Nervous System (tryptophan, serotonin, dopamine, psychological benefits of gratitude), Endocrine System (hormones, cholecystokinin, glucagon, amylin, oxytocin), Circulatory System (blood pressure, arteries, heart rate, endothelial lining)
Comprehension questions included for students to process learning and can be completed on the printable copy or on a separate piece of paper.
