Nervous system, peripheral NS, central NS, brain, spinal cord,
nerves and reflexes, coordination, human system, etc…
Global awareness, cross-cultural skills, inventive thinking skills,
communication, collaboration, information skills, working with
others. Critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving skills.


What are the cross-curricular links?
HEALTH (MAPEH) learning from interactive activities and life processes skills.
What are the real-life applications?
Health and Well-being
1. It guides everyday activities such as waking up
2. Automatic activities such as breathing

3. 3. Complex processes such as thinking, reading, remembering, and feeling emotions.

What are the national agenda priorities?
The National Agenda aims to enhance the preventive aspect and reduce the rate of lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes,
heart and cancer. In addition to reduce smoking prevalence and develop health system preparedness to deal with epidemics
and health hazards, to achieve the UAE leadership in healthcare.

Lesson Proper
Key Points:
• The nervous system is responsible for transmitting and processing signals throughout the body.
• The nervous system is divided into two main parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.
• The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system includes the nerves that connect the central
nervous system to the rest of the body.
• The central nervous system processes information and sends signals to the body, while the peripheral nervous system collects sensory information
from the body and transmits it to the central nervous system.
• The nervous system controls various body functions, including movement, sensation, and coordination.
• Taking care of the nervous system through a healthy lifestyle and avoiding substances that can harm it is essential for overall well-being.
Opening:
• Begin the lesson by showing a short video clip or picture slideshow that highlights the amazing capabilities of the nervous system.
• Ask students to think about how they are able to move, feel pain, and react to the environment. Prompt them to consider the role of the nervous
system in these processes.
• Engage students by posing questions such as "Can you imagine a life without the nervous system? Why is it important?"
Introduction to New Material:
• Use a visual aid, such as a labeled diagram or a model of the nervous system, to introduce students to the key parts and functions.
• Explain each part of the nervous system, stressing their specific roles and how they work together.
• Address a common misconception that the spinal cord is not essential for the functioning of the nervous system.
• Provide examples and analogies to help students understand complex concepts, such as comparing nerve signals to electrical circuits.
Guided Practice:
• Divide students into pairs or small groups and provide them with worksheets or interactive online activities that reinforce the key points covered.

4. • Scaffold questioning from easy to hard, starting with simple recall questions and gradually progressing to more complex analysis questions.
• Circulate the classroom to monitor student performance, provide clarifications, and give individual guidance when necessary.
Independent Practice:
• Assign students a task or project where they create a diagram or model of the nervous system, labeling its parts and explaining their functions.
• Set clear behavioral expectations for the independent work time, such as staying focused, working collaboratively (if applicable), and asking for help
when needed.
• Provide students with additional resources, such as books or websites, to support their independent research and learning.
Closing:
• Conduct a class discussion to summarize the main concepts learned during the lesson.
• Have students share their diagrams or models of the nervous system and explain the importance of each part.
• Encourage students to reflect on the significance of taking care of the nervous system in their daily lives.
Assessment:
Create a diagram or model of the nervous system, labeling its parts and describing their functions.
Extension Activity:
For students who finish early, provide them with additional resources to explore related topics, such as the impact of drugs and alcohol on the nervous system,
the connection between the nervous system and mental health, or the role of the nervous system in sports performance.
Homework:
For homework, have students research one real-life application or case study related to the nervous system, such as a medical breakthrough, a neurological
disorder, or a rehabilitation technique. Ask them to summarize their findings and share them in the next class.
Standards Addressed:
• Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS):
• MS-LS1-3: Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells.
