Introduction
Do you believe that you’re already a Doctor? How about this, you were born to be a Nurse! The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease and the nurse cares for the needs of the patient with the disease. The goal of this lesson is to set the stage for the examination of the cardiovascular system by examining the suspicious death of Mr. Heart Attack. It is a directed discussion and brainstorming session in which students will be given questions and will have to research to answer these questions. Welcome to the Mysterious Medical Room!
Essential Questions:
What is the Cardiovascular system? (3 points)
List and define the components of the Cardiovascular System. (3 points)
Explain the function of the Cardiovascular System. (3 points)
Task
Join the mystery team as we unravel the sudden death of Mr. Heart Attack. Students will form groups of fours (4) and will develop their own scientific investigations into the cause of death in the form of soliciting information from examining evidence. You will need supplies that can be found in just about every house hold such as aspirin, a chair, telephone, pen, note pad and a watch.
Activity 1
Each group member will take on one of the following roles:
Medical Doctor
Nurse
Emergency Personnel
Patient
Instructions:
Each group will submitt one hand written document answering all questions and activity 1 will be displayed in class as a group.After answering the questions, get into your assigned groups and display an educational scence on the management of a patient suffering from a heart attack. In the sceranio you must display the cause, signs and symptoms, and treatment of a heart attack. Make certain that you view the link at the bottom of the page to find out specifically what your role consist of.
Process
Good Morning Medical Team! You Have Now Entered The Medical Room Let's Begin the Investigation!!
Questions A
1. Why does your heart pump? (3 points)
2. Discuss how muscles help you move things around and what your heart moves around in your body.(3 points)
Activity
For one minute, have the group squeeze their hands as hard and as fast as they can. Although it seems easy at first, the group will get a clear idea of how hard the heart works through this simple activity.
Trace the pathway of blood through the heart on the diagram. The heart is the "pump" for ALL of the blood in the body. The right and left sides of the heart are different pathways for the blood. The "septum" in the middle of the heart keeps the blood on each side from mixing with the other.
Talk about what the role of blood is in the body (delivering oxygen, nutrients and other things to cells in the body). The heart is the pump that pushes the blood throughout the body.

Questions B
1. Where does blood get the oxygen it delivers? (3 points)
2. What waste product is exhaled from the lungs? (3 points)
Activity
Each students will breathe in and breathe out.
This is what happen in the inhalation and exhalation process. Blood entering the right side of the heart is coming from the muscles and is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide. Once blood enters the right side of the heart it gets pushed back to the lungs for more oxygen. The blood then comes back to the heart for another push to the rest of the body and muscles. There are two sides of the heart so low oxygen blood and high oxygen blood do not get mixed up and go to the wrong place.
3. Blood delivers (what?) to the appropriate cells.(3 points)
4. The blood also takes away the waste products (what?) the body doesn’t need. The heart is the engine that pushes it around.(3 points)
Together, this system is called the Cardiovascular System .
Now, that your have learned about the Cardiovascular System Medical Team, how did Mr. Heart Attack suddenly died?
You will now perform activity 1 (one).
Evaluation
This class assignmet is a group effort grade. Any group member who fails to complete any of the components will cause a lower grade for the entire group! The criteria everyone in your group must have are: each group must anwser all questions given, role play and video. Each student must display teamwork. 3 points will be allotted for each question answered correctly, which will equal 27 points. 30 points for creativity of video and 25 points for each indidivual member exhiting a clearly written,organized, and grammatically correct on their assigned roles.
Total Points: 82 points
Conclusion
Congradulation! You're Discovery the Autopsy Of Mr. Heart Attack!
In conclusion, the Cardiovascular System is responsible for ensuring that all vital nutrients and other substances necessary for all body systems to function properly. This system has the number one spot for illnesses and death in the most country including the caribbean nations. Implementing a heart smart lifestyle of exercise, stress reduction, and proper nutrition for example will decrease the likelihood of developing cardiovascular problems later in life. After completing activity one students became familarized with household essentials to assist in the management of a heart attack, this quote was proven throughout the enactment "do you believe that you’re already a doctor? How about this, you were born to be a Nurse! The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease and the nurse cares for the needs of the patient with the disease".

What is a WebQuest?
A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented online tool for learning, says workshop expert.It is a classroom-based lesson in which most or all of the information that students explore and evaluate comes from the World Wide Web.
What are the benefits of WebQuests?
Webquest allows:
- Tomorrow's workers to be able to work in teams
- Individuals will move through several careers in the course of a lifetime.
- The issues facing citizens will become more and more complex, and societal problems will resist easy fixes or black-and-white categorization.
- The amount of information available to everyone will grow at an accelerating pace; much of it will come directly from a growing number of sources without filtering or verification.
How did WebQuests start, and how have they developed since they became popular?
Dr. Bernie Dodge, professor of educational technology at San Diego State University, developed and named the concept while teaching a class for preservice teachers in the spring of 1995. He wanted to give his student teachers a format for online lessons that would make the best use of student time while fostering higher-level thinking skills.Soon after, Tom March, working at San Diego State as a fellow funded by Pacific Bell, developed the first fully developed WebQuest as part of PacBell's Knowledge Network.
What are the essential parts of a WebQuest?
There are six critical components in a WebQuest:
Introduction:
The introduction section provides background information and motivational scenarios like giving students roles to play: "You are an underwater research scientist," or "You are an astronaut planning a trip to the moon." It also provides an overview of the learning goals to students.
Task:
The task is a formal description of what students will have accomplished by the end of the WebQuest.
First, the teacher finds resources for a particular topic on the Web. Then, the teacher devises an activity for the students that incorporates the information from the various sites. This task should be doable and interesting.
Developing this task -- or the main research question -- is the most difficult and creative aspect of creating a WebQuest.
Process:
This is a description of the steps learners should go through in accomplishing the task, with links embedded in each step.
Resources:
This section of the WebQuest consists of a list of the resources (bookmarked Web sites, print resources, etc.) that your students will need to complete the task.
Evaluation:
Each WebQuest needs a rubric 1 for evaluating students' work. The standards should be fair, clear, consistent, and specific to the tasks set. Many of the theories of assessment, standards, and contructivism apply to WebQuests: clear goals, matching assessments to specific tasks, and involving the learners in the process of evaluation are all concepts from earlier workshops that apply here.
Conclusion:
This step allows for reflection by the students and summation by the teacher.
What kinds of topics lend themselves to WebQuests?
The best use of the WebQuest format is for topics that are less well-defined -- tasks that invite creativity and problems with several possible solutions. They can address open-ended questions like:
- What should be done to protect America's coral reefs?
- What kinds of people were most likely to survive the sinking of the Titanic? Why?
- What was it like to live during the American Gold Rush?
- What would Mark Twain think about the lives that children live today?
- How do other democracies deal with social problems like crime, and what, if anything, can the U.S. learn from them?
What do I need to create a WebQuest?
A Web editor is the only specialized equipment needed to get started, and that's no harder to use than a word processor.
What are some critical perspectives?
- Finding the time is the biggest obstacle to designing your own WebQuests.
- WebQuests also require that students have a certain level of reading ability,
- You should also be prepared for those who feel that classroom learning should be focused on facts and content -- and who oppose inquiry-based learning more generally.
How can I use WebQuests in conjunction with other educational techniques?
WebQuests are based on the ideas of inquiry and constructivism. WebQuests also incorporate cooperative and collaborative learning, since students work on projects in groups. These concepts can play a role in teaching with WebQuests. WebQuests can also help students meet standards focused on critical-thinking and analysis skills, and may be particularly useful for social studies and science. By using multimedia, WebQuests also help with multiple intelligence work. Alternative kinds of assessment can be used to judge the results of WebQuest projects. WebQuests are one way to use the Internet in education. WebQuests are tools, not educational theories, so they can be used in virtually any classroom with appropriate computer access.
