Warm-Up • Turn-in Excretory System & Unit 8 Introduction • What are the major systems of the excretory system? • Identify the function of the excretory system Warm-Up • Turn-in Excretory System & Unit 8 Introduction • What are the major systems of the excretory system? • Urinary • Digestive • Respiratory • Integumentary • Identify the function of the excretory system • Gets rid of waste Today’s Task • I will investigate the RESPIRATORY system Today’s Goal • We can identify the function of the respiratory system. • We can identify the structure included in the respiratory system. • We can identify organelles with similar functions to the respiratory system. • We can identify advantages and limitations of models. • We can explain adaptations of the respiratory system. Respiratory System Function: •Breathe (gas exchange) • Inhale Oxygen (O2) •Gets rid of waste • Exhale Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Organelle: Cell Membrane – allows things to enter & exit Nasal Cavity Trachea Lungs Bronchi Alveoli Diaphragm Respiratory System Identify the function of the respiratory system. Compare this function to a cell organelle and explain. Function: Breathe in O2 Get rid of CO2 Cell organelle: Cell Membrane both exchange gases Adaptations of the Respiratory System •Fish have gills so they can breathe under water Diseases of the Respiratory System Explain how people and fish breathe. People: Lungs Breathe air Fish: Gills Breathe underwater •Materials: •1 cup •2 strips of duct tape •Scissors •Straw •Small balloon •Large balloon Build a Model 1.Use the scissors to poke a hole in bottom of the cup 2.Insert the straw Build a Model 1. Place the small balloon on the end of the straw inside the cup. 2. Wrap a piece of duct tape around where the balloon and straw meet (air tight) 3. Cut the top off of the large balloon, and dispose top portion in the trash Build a Model 1. Stretch what’s left of the large balloon over the opening of the cup 2. Wrap duct tap around the straw and hole you cut in the cup (air tight) 3. Gently pull up and down on the large balloon to operate the model Build a Model Respiratory System Reflection •Identify the function •Compare an organelle & explain •Explain an adaptation
