Time:45 minutes

Name of the Unit:

Circulatory Pathways

Date:

Name of the Topic:

Pacemaker

Curricular Statement:
Develop various dimensions of factual, conceptual, procedural and meta-cognitive knowledge,
process skills and attitude on pacemaker through meaningful verbal expression, group discussion
and evaluation by questioning.
Content Analysis:
Terms:

Pacemaker, right atrium, sino-atrial node, artificial pacemaker, electric impulse,

battery.

Facts:

Sino-atrial node or pacemaker controls the rate of heart beat.

SAN can produce contraction by itself, known as paceaker.

Concepts:

Any damage to the pacemaker will affect the heart beat.

SA node initiates the movement and control the rate of heart beat.

Learning outcomes in terms of specifications enables the pupils to develop:

Factual knowledge on pacemakers through

Recalling new terms like pacemakers, right atrium, SA node, artificial pacemaker, electric
impulse, battery.
Understands that SA node controls the rate of heart beat

Conceptual knowledge on pacemakers through

Recognizing that SA node initiates the movement and controls the rate of heart beat.
Understands that any damage to the pacemaker will affect the rate of heart beat.

Procedural knowledge on pacemaker through

Understands the working of pacemaker in initiating the rate of heart beat

Observing the working of pacemaker.

Meta-cognitive knowledge on pacemaker through

Understands that natural pacemaker can be replaced by artificial pacemakers

Different skills

Observing and recognizing the working of artificial pacemaker in human body.

Scientific attitude towards

The working of modern pacemaker in detecting the rate of respiration, its speed, temperature of
blood etc.
Pre-requisites
Pupils know that

Heart contracts and expands continuously.

Pacemaker are present in human body.

Classroom Interaction Procedure

Expected Pupil Response

Preparation
Teacher begins the class with suitable
introduction

Yes

- Have you heard about pacemaker?

Heart

- Pacemakers are located in____

SA node

- Pacemakers are also called as____

Yes

- Do you know that artificial pacemakers can

be fixed in our body?
Today we are going to discuss about
pacemakers
(CB)
Activity I
Discuss in groups and prepare a note on
pacemaker
Indicators
- The muscle that helps in the contraction and
relaxation of heart
- SA node is located at atrium
- SA node also called as

Cardiac muscle.

Upper part of right

Pacemaker
SA node initiates the movement of heart and
controls the rate of heart beat.

- What is the function of SA node?

Consolidation
Blood enters and leaves the heart by the
rhythmic contraction and relaxation of cardiac

muscles. A special type of muscle at the

upper part of the right atrium initiates the
movement and controls the rate of heart beat.
This part is called the Sino-atrial node or the
pacemaker of the heart. As SAN can produce a
contraction by itself, it is known as the
pacemaker. Any damage to the pacemaker
will affect the rate of heart beat.
Activity II
Prepare a note on artificial pacemaker by
discussing in groups
Indicators
- What happens when pacemakers are
damaged?
- What are artificial pacemakers?

Artificial pacemakers are installed.

This is a device with a battery that creates
electric impulses at a fixed rate.

- Where are the artificial pacemakers

connected?
Consolidation
Artificial pacemaker is a device with a battery
that creates electric impulse at a fixed rate.
This is fixed in the body and connected to the
heart. There are temporary pacemakers which
can be fixed externally and also internal
pacemaker which can be fixed permanently.
Pacemakers are a great relief where medicines
become a failure.

They are connected to the heart.

Students listen carefully and note the main

points and note the main points.

Recapitulation
- Pacemakers are also called as

Sino-atrial node

- What are artificial pacemakers?

This is a device with battery that can produce

electric impulse.
Internal and external.

- Name the two types of artificial pacemakers.
