Learning Objectives
TEKS /
Student Expectations 		10) Science concepts. The student knows that, at all levels of nature, living systems are found within other living systems, each with its own boundary and limits. The student is expected to: (A) interpret the functions of systems in organisms including circulatory, digestive, nervous, endocrine, reproductive, integumentary, skeletal, respiratory, muscular, excretory, and immune; (B) compare the interrelationships of organ systems to each other and to the body as a whole (2) Scientific processes. The student uses scientific methods during field and laboratory investigations. The student is expected to: (A) plan and implement investigative procedures including asking questions, (C) organize, analyze, evaluate, make inferences, and predict trends from data; and (D) communicate valid conclusions. (3) Scientific processes. The student uses critical thinking and scientific problem solving to make informed decisions. The student is expected to: (A) analyze, review, and critique scientific explanations, including hypotheses and theories, as to their strengths and weaknesses using scientific evidence and information; (B) evaluate promotional claims that relate to biological issues such as product labeling and advertisements;

Engaging Questions

The task asks students to show their "know how" on something important and challenging, not just their knowledge.

Engaging /
Essential Questions 		After studying the systems of the human body, students will formulate questions about the use of performance enhancing drugs by athletes and their effects on the systems such as: 1) Do all performance enhancing drugs have a negative affect on the human body? 2) How do athletes benefit from the use of such drugs? 3) Is it fair for athletes to use performance enhancing drugs? 4) Should athletic honors be taken away from athletes because of suspicion of drug use? 5) What responsibilities do athletes have towards their fans for maintaining a role model status? 6) How common is their use by high school athletes? 7) Should high school atheletes have required drug tests to test for use of performance enhancing drugs?

 

Authentic Learning

The task reflects what people might actually do in the real-world; including real life issues, themes, and problems.

High Level Thinking Processes

The task requires complex-thinking skills (critical/creative thinking, decision making, problem solving)
Bloom's Taxonomy

Analysis , Synthesis , Evaluation  
Description Analysis: Students will analyze how performance enhancing drugs affect the systems of the body. Synthesis: Students will formulate a position about the use of performance enhancing drugs. Students will also plan and design an awareness campaign about the use of performance enhancing drugs for the high school athletic program. Evaluation: Students will justify their position as they participate in a philosophical debate about performance enhancing drugs. Pillars of Character Education: Fairness (in Sports/Athletic Competitions) Respect (for oneself, athletes, sports and competition among individuals) Responsibility (for ones actions)

 

Differentiated Instruction

Instruction is tailored to the learning readiness, cultural background, interests, talents, and learning profiles of the students.

Differentiation Activities Flexible Grouping , Interest Based Investigations , Graphic Organizers
Description Flexible Grouping: During the philosophical chair debate, students are given an opportunity to change positions/groups at anytime throughout the process as their opinion is swayed by the information presented by fellow students. Students are also allowed to select and choose to work on different aspect of the awareness campaign. Graphic Organizers: Graphic Organizers are used for students to document their position, changes during the debate and reasons why they switched positions. They are also used to help students organize final position on the topic, as well as to plan the awareness campaign. Interest Based Investigations: The lesson involves a topic of investigation that sparks interests. Many students have a strong interest in sports and athletes, and this topic will directly impact students here at the high school.

 

Technology Applications

Technology (computers, handhelds, software applications, Internet) is used in a seamless fashion to promote student learning.

Technology Applications Possible Video Conference with experts in the field Possible Conference Calls with experts in the field Computer/Internet usage for research purposes, and awareness campaign design and implementation Possible Software (students are not limited to the following list however): MS Word Inspiration MS PowerPoint Publisher FrontPage

Concepts/TopicsHuman Systems & Interactions between Systems Drug Use and How it Affects the Body Promotional Claims & their Validity

EBAM1. Students will use technology to research and analyze performance enhancing drugs and their use by athletes worldwide. 2. Students will collaborate with local physicians and/or manufacturing companies of performance enhancing drugs about their affects on the systems of the human body. 3. Students will formulate a position about the use of performance enhancing drugs by athletes. 4. Students will justify their position as they participate in a philosophical chair debate about this issue. 5. Students will plan and implement an awareness campaign for the high school athletic program to educate fellow students about the use of performance enhancing drugs and their affects.

Performance TaskThe culminating task has several aspects: 1) a philosophical chair debate on the topic of performance enhancing drugs and their use by athletes, in which students must justify their position as they participate in a philosophical debate by providing facts as evidence to support their position; 2) an evaluation of the philosophical chair process, in which students will state their final position after holding the debate, and justify it with at least 5 forms of evidence to support their position, as well as assess how the pillars of character education relate to the lesson and how they can be applied; and 3) the design and implementation of an awareness campaign that directly impacts fellow peers involved in the athletic program at Floresville High School.
