The Endocrine System - Senior High School Biology Lesson
Your lesson covers the structure and function of the endocrine system. In order, the lesson teaches about; hormones (steroid and protein), Negative feedback loops, the Pituitary Gland, the Posterior and Anterior Lobes of the Pituitary, Metabolism and Thyroid, T4, Blood Sugar and the Pancreas, stress and adrenaline, and Cortisol.
Your lesson includes the teacher and student version of the presentation, THREE embedded videos, an auto-graded exit ticket, and a student lesson handout so the students can record the notes on a more condensed medium.
This lesson is designed to be your go-to resource, whether you're in a traditional classroom or a virtual one. With both a teacher version and a student version, it seamlessly fits into your lesson plans, making learning engaging and adaptable.
Assessment made easy
We've included an auto-graded Exit Ticket and a quiz with an answer key because I know you don't have an excess of time. I know you don't, because I don't and I know I'll do whatever I can to reduce my grading time.
Whether you use PowerPoint or Google Slides, prefer Word or Google Docs, this lesson has you covered. This lesson comes in both Office and Google formats for your convenience.
The student version of the presentation has strategically placed blanks for them to fill in as you're teaching. It keeps them active and engaged, encourages discussion, and leaves more time for those "aha" moments.
