Key Vocabulary:
● Heart: a muscular organ, located to the left of the middle of your chest, that
pumps blood throughout the body. The organ that pumps blood through the
body.
● Heartbeat: a single beat of your heart that you can feel inside your chest.

measuring liquids, equal to 4 quarts (3.79 liters)
● Blood: The red liquid that the heart pumps which provides your body with the
oxygen and nutrients it needs. The fluid that circulates through the body of
humans and other vertebrates.
● Ventricle: a chamber of the heart that receives blood from an atrium and
pumps it into the arteries.
● Atrium: a chamber of the heart that receives blood from the veins and pumps it
into a ventricle.
● Artery: a blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to all parts of the body.
● Blood Vessel: a tube in the body that carries blood from one part of the body
to another.
● Circulatory System: the system that moves blood through the body, made up
of the heart and blood vessels.
● Heart Rate: the rate at which the heart beats; usually measured to obtain a
quick evaluation of a person''s health

● Resting Heart Rate: the number of times your heart beats per minute while at
complete rest
● Exercise: an activity requiring physical effort, carried out especially to sustain
or improve health and fitness.
● Pulse: the rhythmic contraction and expansion of the arteries with each beat of the
heart

usually the main part of a meal.
● -Vegetables: the food group that provides the body with vitamin C and helps
prevent cardiovascular disease and certain cancers.
● -Dairy: the food group that provides calcium to the body, strengthens bones,
and provides body with vitamins and minerals.
● -Balanced Diet: eating the right amount and the right types of food that come
from the Food Plate.
● Calories: the amount of unit of energy produced by food and released when
nutrients are broken down in the body
● Serving Size: a specific amount of a food or drink recommended
● Portion Size: the amount of food that happens to end up on the plate
● Nutrient: A substance in a food or drink that is used by the body.
● Energy-yielding Nutrient: The nutrients in foods that provide calories.

Content/Facts:
● What is the heart
● The heart is made up of four different blood-filled areas called chambers.
○ There are two chambers on each side; one on the top and one at the
bottom
● The ventricles are located at the bottom half of the chambers.
● Blood is pumped by the heart through the arteries and veins to carry oxygen
and nutrients to the cells of the body
● The human heart pumps 1,900 gallons per year
● The heart pumps 1.3 gallons per minute
● Each heartbeat holds ¼ cup of blood
● Heart rate can vary depending on things like a person's age and level of stress
or activity at the time the pulse is taken.
● To get an accurate rate you want to take your heart rate when you first wake
up and you can also take it after 10 minutes of resting
● The heart pumping the lowest amount of blood you need
● Lower is better when calculating your heart rate
● Kids' heart rates can be as low as 60 beats per minute during sleep and as high
as 220 beats per minute during strenuous physical activity.
● -Portion Sizes of each food group
● -Different foods from each food group
 ● -history of Food Pyramid and how we now use the Food Plate
● The number of calories you consume should match the calorie needs of your
body.
● When choosing what to eat, you should think about more than just the calorie
content of the food. You should also consider whether or not the food you
choose contains all the nutrients your body needs.
● Excess calories are stored as potential energy, mostly in the form of body fat.

Introduction/Activating/Launch Strategies:

Students will watch a youtube video on eating healthy and will be able to sing a long.

Development/Teaching Approaches
Mini Lesson: Family Feud
● The teacher will put the students into four groups and the students will line
their desks up to resemble “Family Feud”.
● Each group will have a “representative” who will go up to the front of the
room.
● The teacher will ask the question and whichever student knows the answer
first, will press the buzzer, and the question will go to their team. Each student
on the team will have the chance to answer a question and if it is wrong they
get an “X”. The answers will show up on the board. Each time can get three
“x”s and then it goes to the next team (whoever pressed the buzzer 2nd).
● The game will continue until all the answers are answered.
Guided Practice
● The students will create a graphic organizer with the help of the teacher that
shows the relationships between the different topics learned in the unit.
● She will make it on the whiteboard and this can be used as a reference when
the students make their own.
● The students will create a graphic organizer (concept map, circles, rectangles)
on the provide poster board.
Independent Practice
● The students will organize, place, and glue the provided cut-out key terms and
key concepts from the unit onto their graphic organizer.
● This helps them organize their thoughts and refresh their memory of the
different key concepts and words before guided practice.
● The teacher will go around to each group and discuss with them the placement
of their key terms and concepts.
● A student from each group will put their poster on the board and the teacher
 will point out different parts of each poster.
● The posters will stay up and can be used as reference throughout the review.

Closure/Summarizing Strategies:
● The students will clean and separate their desk from their group.
● Students will then get a pencil out and look at the teacher showing they are
ready for the test.
● Next teacher will hand out he test.
● Students will have about 25 minutes to take the test.
● Once students are done taking the test, they will flip it over and get a book out.
● Once everyone is done the students will get ready to leave school for the day.

Accommodations/Differentiation:
● Bob can take the Unit test in a separate classroom.
● Bob can have the test read to him.
● Bob can orally answer the open ended questions to the teacher.
● For the poster board students will be grouped with higher skilled students
