News from Room 52

We are beginning a new science unit!  It is all about the circulatory and respiratory systems.  We will learn about the four parts of the blood and their functions, the different blood vessels and their functions, the structure of the heart, the flow of blood through the heart and body, the structures of the lungs, how respiration takes place, and the effects of exercise on the heart and lungs.  I have developed a thematic unit (a unit designed to integrate different subjects around a certain theme) in which the students will be incorporating art, music, writing, and math into this science unit.  Technology is infused into every lesson, and the students will be assessed through rubrics.
