Unit Essential Question: _How does muscle tissue function to support life & our everyday
actions and how does it work together with the other bodily systems to achieve this?
Lesson Topic: Introduction to the Muscular System
Class:_Anatomy & Physiology, 3rd period___
PLANNING THE LESSON
With Democracy and Social Justice at the Center of Instruction
Focusing on the National Network for Educational Renewal (NNER) Mission the 4-Part
Agenda for Education in a Democracy
EQUAL ACCESS
ENCULTURATION
NURTURING PEDAGOGY
STEWARDSHIP
To Knowledge
In Democratic Society
Safe and Caring for All
of the Mission
What are you and your students doing today to advance the 4-Part Mission? Connections:
With which part(s) of the Agenda does this lesson connect most clearly? And how?
Students will discuss topics with their table partners at various points throughout the lecture to
ensure that every voice in the classroom is being heard. Students will also work in groups of
two or three to create physical models of muscle structure and a sarcomere and then explain
their model to another group. Through this activity, every member of the group takes on a role
of responsibility, while coming up with their version of the structure theyre asked to model.
Each student will also be responsible for their own written explanation of their model. Through
the use of multiple techniques (writing, building, speaking, and visualizing), we will work to
advance the 4-part mission by providing equal access to knowledge for all students in the class.
We will also be supporting stewardship of the mission by requiring the use of democratic skills
such as collaboration and invention. This activity also provides opportunity for enculturation as
students learn about each other through their group work and through speaking and listening
to other groups explain their work.
STANDARDS (www.cde.state.co)
Content:
High School Science
Standards:
Understand the three
different types of muscle have
specific structure and
function.
Understand muscle tissue
organization and the
Democracy and
21st Century Skills:
Use leadership and teamwork
skills effectively.
Democracy and
21st Century Skills:
SWBAT
Use leadership and teamwork
skills effectively by
collaborating with one or two
other people to build and
label a physical
representation of either
skeletal muscle gross anatomy
structure or sarcomere
structure, and discussing the
function of the structure to
another group of students for
the purpose of increasing
communication and
collaboration skills necessary
for 21st century workforce
readiness.
ASSESSMENTS What is your evidence of achieving each objective? How will students know
and demonstrate what they have learned in each of the areas, all of the objectives?
Content:
I will assess whether students
are grasping an ability to
describe the three different
types of muscle by listening to
their conversations with their
table partners, and to their
contributions to the group
discussion about the topic.
Democracy and
21st Century Skills:
This will be assessed as I listen
and observe as students work
together on their models and
also explain their models to
each other. Students will
show that they are using
teamwork and leadership

HIGHER ORDER QUESTIONS for this lesson
Content
Where is the sarcomere found
within the levels of skeletal
muscle tissue organization,
and can you use this
information to explain the
idea of scale within the
muscle (can you grasp the
idea of how many sarcomeres
may be in a single muscle?)
How does structure match
function of muscle tissue at
both the macroscopic and
microscopic levels?
Where does the energy for
muscle contraction come
from?
How do the other systems of
the body interact with the
skeletal system?
Democracy and
21st Century Skills
How might collaborating in a
scientific setting help us to
come up with the best
possible solution to a
question or problem?
LESSON FLOW
This is the actual planning of the lesson activities.
Time
Time
Pre-Assessment
The warm-up should cover most of the pre-assessment but additionally Ill ask
what else the students can tell me about the skeletal system so far before
beginning the lecture.
Time
Building Background
Link to Experience:
We require muscles to live. Cardiac muscles pump our blood while smooth
muscles help us to digest our food. Also, skeletal muscles allow us to do sports,
dance, and walk among many other things.
Link to Learning:
The skeletal muscles attach to the skeletal system, which we just did a unit on. All
the systems of the body we learn about in Anatomy and Physiology work
together to allow us to function as we do.
Time
Anticipatory Set The hook to grab students attention. These are actions and
statements by the teacher (or students) to relate the experiences of the
objectives of the lesson, to put students into a receptive frame of mind.
To focus students attention on the lesson
Models of Teaching:
Inquiry, Cooperative Learning, Concept Attainment, Direct Instruction,
Discussion, Socratic Seminar, Synectics, Inductive, Deductive and Mastery
Learning, etc.
Time
Review and Assessments of All Objectives How will you and how will the
students know they have achieved the objectives of the lesson?
Content:
Students will feel comfortable explaining their models to each other and show
they have gained knowledge by giving sufficient answers to the questions other
students ask and to the higher-order questions outlined above.
Literacy and Numeracy:
Students will have achieved this objective if they complete the ticket out the door
and use complete, clear English and correct grammar.
Democracy and 21st Century Skills:
Students will have achieved the objective for 21st century skills if the participate
well in their groups, helping each other in the building, explaining and writing
processes.
Time
Closure
What will you and the students do at the end of the lesson or after a chunk of
learning to synthesize, organize and connect the learning to the essential
question(s)?
We will quickly review in a class discussion the things we learned in the activity
and the students will have a few more minutes to add to their written
explanations before I collect them.
Time
Next Step
Students will be asked to read a packet of additional information about muscle
contraction both to reinforce the concept learned today and to prepare for next
time. I will suggest they highlight the different components responsible for the
processes, which is illustrated by figures in the text. They should give each
component such as Ca2+, ATP, ADP+Pi, troponin, and tropomyosin a different
color and follow these components through each step to visualize how they play
a part in the process.
