Parts of the eye that help to focus light rays on the back of the eye
Retina
Part of the eye that contains receptor cells
Sclera
Part of the eye that forms a tough, protective outer layer
Pupil in dim light
Dilates (gets bigger)
Circular muscles
Muscles that contract to constrict the pupil
Looking at something close up
Lens is fat
Looking at something close up
Ciliary muscles contract
Short sightedness
Light rays meet in front of the retina
Convex lens
Shape of lens used to correct long sight
Key words
vasodilation
vasoconstriction
hypothalamus
receptors
thermoregulatory centre
If your body temperature is supposed to be 37 degrees, why do you not die on a day when its 0 degrees outside in winter or 40 degrees outside when you are on holiday?
Respiration
Process that produces heat in every living cell
Core body temperature
Between 36 and 37.5°C
Heat transfer
In the blood
Hypothermia
What happens if body temperature drops below 35°C
Hyperthermia
What happens if core body temperature rises above 40.6°C
Thermoregulatory centre
Part of the brain (hypothalamus) that monitors and controls body temperature
Receptors
Sensitive to the temperature of the blood
Skin
Contains temperature receptors and sends nervous impulses to the thermoregulatory centre
Negative feedback
Mechanism the body uses to keep body temperature at the same level
Cooling down - responding to a rise in body temperature
1. Hairs on skin lie flat
2. Sweat is produced
3. Blood vessels dilate (vasodilation)
Warming up - responding to a fall in body temperature
1. Hairs on skin stand up
2. No sweat is produced
3. Shivering
4. Blood vessels constrict (vasoconstriction)
When you are too hot, the stimulus is the rise in body temperature
When you are too cold, the stimulus is the fall in body temperature
Different methods to measure body temperature
Clinical thermometers
Digital thermometers
Forehead thermometers
Exercise
Increases body temperature
Respiration generates energy in the form of ATP in all living cells
Energy is used to make muscle cells contract
Energy generation in living cells also releases heat
Sweating, vasodilation, and hairs lying flat on skin help to cool the body down during prolonged exercise
Drinking more water is needed when exercising to replace fluid lost through sweating
When Planning this lesson have you remembered to:
Things to do when planning the lesson
Get the pupils to read (revision guide/BBCbitesize) ahead and make notes
Spider diagram
Answer a few questions
Plan an opportunity to test their knowledge
Fun quiz
Task without looking
Sort some statements
Matching
Flip their learning
Get them to pick out the key words that must be important in this topic by reading a passage or watching a video
Having them use their notes to solve a problem
Do an exam question first, then go back to it at the end
Explain it to a friend
Red pen your notes you made from pre-reading – make corrections rather than copying form the board
Give them a skills opportunity?
Give them a chance to review past work (really old work or more recent work)
Interrupt tasks
Quizzes
Practise revision techniques
Blood Glucose
Why do we need sugar?
What is the equation that uses this sugar in our cells?
Banting and Best
Two doctors, Frederick Banting and Charles Best, made an extract from the pancreas in 1921
The extract had anti-diabetic properties, and they tested it successfully on diabetic dogs
The first tests in humans were carried out in 1922, and were a success too
Some patients who were in a diabetic coma even recovered
The extract contained the hormone insulin
Task - Watch the following clip and take notes in the back of your books
