Appendix 2: Teacher notes - outputs of the lesson

This lesson relates to the following areas of the SHS curriculum:

Biology: SHS Year 2 Section 4 Unit 3

Integrated Science: SHS Year 2 Section 3 Unit 3 and SHS Year 3 Section 1 Unit 3

This lesson is different to the others which are focused on the use of a virtual laboratory and virtual instruments. Instead, the Human heart application provides students with an opportunity to explore an anatomically correct human heart in 3D.

Below are two figures that you might find useful. The first is a labelled drawing of the heart and the second is the cardiac cycle with additional detail.

Finally, if your students carry out the physical exercise activity – ask them to explain why physical exercise causes an increase in both heart rate and respiration rate.
