Class: 12th Grade
Lesson title: Types of circulatory systems
Length of lesson: 80 minutes
Teaching objectives
Describe the circulatory system as a system of
tubes with a pump and valves to ensure one-way
flow of blood
Explain open and closed circulatory system
Student understanding the similarities and
differences between open and closed circulatory
systems
Explain vertebrates’ circulatory system in an
evolutionary order
Define the term poikilothermal and homothermal
with examples of animals relating with circulatory
system
Assessment strategies
Questioning
Students will make a poster about open and
closed circulatory system and evolution of
vertebrates’ circulatory systems
Worksheet (Short answer questions-matching)

circulatory system
List the parts of the circulatory system
Outline the similarities and differences between open
and closed circulatory systems
Compare vertebrates’ circulatory systems by order of
evolution

Common misconceptions
The most common misconception is the “single loop”
model, wherein the arteries carry blood from the heart
to the body (where oxygen is deposited and waste
collected) and the veins carry blood from the body to
the heart (where it is cleaned and re-oxygenated)
Homework
Students will make a poster about open and closed
circulatory system & evolution of vertebrates
circulatory systems ( fish-amphibia-reptile-bird-
mammalia )
Pupils with special needs and support planned
Be sensitive to learning needs of students
