Body Systems REsources
Directions: Complete the steps in order below. Work in pairs using one computer, but everyone fills out their own worksheet. Use the Google Translator to copy (CONTROL + C) and paste (CONTROL + V) any words or directions or website you need clarification on, in Spanish.
HINT: When a word is highlighted in blue, that means it is a link and you should click on it. When words are underlined, this means it is a worksheet that Ms. Gately will give you. If it is in purple, you write the words in your journal.
Instrucciones: Complete los pasos a continuación. Trabaje en pares usando una computadora, pero cada uno llena hacia fuera su propia hoja de trabajo. Usa el Traductor de Google para copiar (CONTROL + C) y pegar (CONTROL + V) cualquier palabra o dirección o sitio web que necesites aclarar, en español.
SUGERENCIA: Cuando una palabra está resaltada en azul, significa que es un enlace y debe hacer clic en él. Cuando las palabras están subrayadas, esto significa que es una hoja de cálculo que la Sra. Gately le dará. Si está en púrpura, escribe las palabras en tu diario.

Respiratory System (Sistema Respiratorio)
(Tuesday, April 25th)
1. Watch this video. Make sure to turn on Spanish subtitles by clicking on the little gear that represents "Settings."
Use headphones.
2. Use this quiz to fill out your respiratory system labels worksheet.
3. Once your sheet is labeled, you must take the quiz until you receive 100%, then show Ms. Gately and she will sign your sheet.
4. Use the following websites to fill in the functions on your respiratory system organ functions worksheet. Just write the first sentence of the definition for each organ. Make sure to complete the short activity each time as well.
Website 1: Order the organs
Website 2: Create-a-system
Website 3: Alveoli structure
5. Get a small square picture of an alveolus from Ms. Gately. Use the animation below to label how the oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) move in/out of the alveolus and the capillary (blood vessel).
Website 4: Alveoli animation
6. Write the following purple words in your journal:
Main organ = the big body part that represents the system
Functional unit = the small part of the system that helps the whole system function
Respiratory System
Main organ = lungs
Functional unit = alveoli
--> Alveoli are the site of gas exchange with the blood, where oxygen (O2) diffuses into the capillary (smallest blood vessel) from the alveoli, and carbon dioxide (CO2) diffuses into the alveoli from the capillary.
Function = Help you breathe (take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide)
7. Tape the picture of an alveolus into your journal, next to the notes above.
8. Tape the two other worksheets into your journal, and have Ms. Gately check your work.
9. Complete the MCAS Open Response on the Respiratory System for HOMEWORK tonight.

3. Use this website to write notes for each type of blood vessel at the bottom of the Cardiovascular System worksheet.
Just use the green titles as your notes.
4. Use this image to describe systole and diastole.
5. Write the following in the space on your worksheet (not journal):
Blue blood = oxygen-poor blood (meaning it is NOT carrying oxygen)
Red blood = oxygen-rich blood (meaning it IS carrying oxygen)
6. Write the following in your journal:
Circulatory or Cardiovascular System
Main organ = heart
Functional unit = capillary
--> The capillaries wrap around the alveoli in the lungs and help the blood release CO2 into the lungs and take O2 from the lungs
Function = Pump blood around the body (blood carries oxygen to all body parts)
6. Turn your worksheet over and fill in the blanks on the Circulatory System worksheet.
7. Full class activity: Oxygen transport through the circulatory system
