Period 1:
We finished the Heart Attack video and discussed. We continued talking about heart disease by starting a series of animations called Matters of the Heart (link found on class website).
Homework: same as last night

Period 2:
Class began with a quiz on the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. Ms. Sharkey made some announcements about making sure everyone has an e-mail address for a project that we will start after break. Use Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail if you don't have an e-mail or if your only e-mail is @townisp.com or @aim.com because these don't seem to work for the purposes of our project.

Period 5:
We finished Matters of the Heart and began talking about heartbeat (PowerPoint is posted on class website). We got through comparing and contrasting skeletal vs. cardiac muscle. Ms. Sharkey handed out a "How the Heart Works" article to help you with your reading and homework.
Homework: page 675 #8,10,11 (use last night's reading)

Periods 6 and 7:
Last night's homework as checked. We talked about the anatomy of the heart (front page of packet) and watched a short clip showing how blood flows through the heart. Ms. Sharkey showed a dissected pig heart to demonstrate the heart anatomy. We talked about arteries, veins, and capillaries, and summarized circulation by talking about how blood flows from the heart to the lungs, back to the heart, out to the body, and back to the heart again.
Homework: Circulatory system worksheet (side 1 - blood, side 2 - circulatory T/F *make false statements true please!)
