BIOLOGY LESSON NOTE ON HUMAN KIDNEY

Image
Lesson Note on the Human Kidney Topic: The Human Kidney Duration: 40 minutes Specific Objectives: By the end of the lesson, students should be able to: Define the kidney and state its location in the human body. Identify and describe the structure and functions of the kidney. Explain the processes involved in urine formation (filtration, reabsorption, and secretion). Describe how the kidney contributes to homeostasis. Identify common kidney-related diseases and how to prevent them. Evaluate the importance of maintaining kidney health. Lesson Content: 1. Introduction to the Human Kidney The kidneys are vital organs in the human body responsible for filtering waste from the blood and regulating water and electrolyte balance. They are part of the excretory system and play a crucial role in homeostasis. Location: The kidneys are located in the abdominal cavity, on either side of the spine, just below the rib cage. Each kidney is bean-shaped and about the size of a fi...

WEEK 2: VERTEBRATE SKELETON

TOPIC: VERTEBRATE SKELETON
MAIN AIM: To help the learners understand tissues and supporting system in the body
SUSIDIARY AIM: By the end of the lesson, learners should be able to;
  1. Explain verterbrate skeleton
  2. Explain the axial skeleton
  3. Explain the appendicular skeleton
PERSONAL AIM: To keep strictly to time allotted to  each stage of the lesson
PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE: The learners know about skeleton from their previous lessons.
TEACHING AIDS: Research work from the internet, pictures and a model of human skeleton.
PROCEDURE: The teacher present the lesson with the following steps
STEP ONE: VERTEBRATE SKELETONS
The vertebrate skeleton is found in vertebrate animals. Animals with back bone. Example man, rat, lizard, cattle, etc . This is of two parts
  1. Axial Skeleton
  2. Appendicular skeleton
STEP TWO: AXIAL SKELETON
AXIAL SKELETON consists of the skull, ribs, sternum and the vertebral column.
The vertebrate column is the central supporting structure of the skeleton. it is made up of five group of bones called vertebrae in mammals which is 33 in number. The five groups of bones include 
1. Cervical vertebrae are made up of two bones Atlas and Axis. They work together to bring about the“rotation of the head.
2. Thoracic vertebrae
 3. Lumbar vertebrae
4. Sacral vertebrae
5. Caudal vertebrae

                                                


STEP THREE: APPENDICULAR SKELETON
  1. it is made up of limb girdles (pectoral and pelvic girdles),
  2. The limbs (the fore and hind limbs).
EVALUATION:
  1. explain the vertebrate skeletons
  2. Explain the axial skeleton
  3. Explain the appendicular skeleton
CONCLUSION: The teacher concludes the lessson by summarizing the topic from the beginning and gave assigment to the learner.
ASSIGNMENT:
Class work
  1. Name the two forms of vertebrate skeleton
  2. List the components of the axial skeleton
Home work
Draw the vertebral column in your note

PHYSICS LESSON NOTE FOR SS1 SS2 AND SS3

Week: one INTRODUCTION TO PHYSISCS Physics is a branch of science that deals with the study of matter in relation to energy. The branches of Physics are: Mechanics, Light, Electricity, Waves, Magnetism, Atomic Physics, Electromagnetism, Dynamics, Heat, Sound etc. CONCEPT OF MATTER Matter is anything that has mass or weight and occupies space. The idea that matter is made up of minute particles called atom dated back to the ancient Greek. Atom is the smallest indivisible Particle of an element which can take part in a chemical change. It consists of proton, neutron and electron. Proton is positively charged, neutron is neutral and electron is negatively charged Matter can exist in three states- Solids, Liquids and Gases SOLIDS: The molecules of solids are closely packed together. They have definite shape and volume LIQUIDS: Its molecule are freer than that of solid, they have definite volume but no definite shape GASES: The cohesive force binding the gases molecules together is...
