LESSON PLAN
DAY 1
6.6.U2: Thyroxin is secreted by the thyroid gland to regulate the metabolic rate and help control body temperature
6.6.U3: Leptin is secreted by cells in adipose tissue and acts on the hypothalamus of the brain to inhibit appetite
6.6.A2: Testing of leptin on patients with clinical obesity and reasons for the failure to control the disease
6.6.U4: Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland to control circadian rhythms
6.6.A3: Causes of jet lag and use of melatonin to alleviate it
6.6.U1: Insulin and glucagon are secreted by beta and alpha cells of the pancreas respectively to control blood glucose concentrations
6.6.A1: Causes and treatment of Type I and Type II diabetes

ACTIVITY: GROUP PRESENTATION
STUDENTS WILL BE DIVIDED IN THREE GROUPS.
GROUP 1- LEPTIN
GROUP 2- MELATONIN
GROUP 3- THYROXINE
What is to be done-
Prepare a presentation based on the following points-
GROUP 1- LEPTIN
GROUP 2- MELATONIN
GROUP 3- THYROXINE
What is to be done-
Prepare a presentation based on the following points-
- What is it?
- Where is it secreted from?
- What is its function?
- What happens when it increases or decreases?
- Discuss a clinical trial based on it.
- What real life connections can be given for this?
- Presentation should not exceed 6 minutes.
- All members of the group should participate/speak.
- More importance to be given to clinical trials and real life connections.
- Presentation preferably in the from of powerpoint or Prezi.
- Not more than 12 slides
- Avoid filling the slide with written material. (put only the points)
- Try using more of pictorial representations, flow charts etc.
- Videos may be included if relevant.
- Presentation includes all points 2
- The presentation is not clustered with text and has good pictorial representation 2
- All points correctly and properly presented 2
- Group was able to take up part of any member (in case of absence) 2
- A valid case study – properly and explained 4
- Well thought real life application/connection 4
- Confident and answered all questions (individual) 4
DAY 2
6.6.U5: A gene on the Y chromosomes causes embryonic gonads to develop as testes and secrete testosterone
6.6.S1: Annotate diagrams of the male and female reproductive system to show names of structures and their functions
6.6.U6: Testosterone causes prenatal development of male genitalia and both sperm production and development of male secondary sexual characteristics during puberty
6.6.S1: Annotate diagrams of the male and female reproductive system to show names of structures and their functions
6.6.U7: Estrogen and progesterone cause prenatal development of female reproductive organs and female secondary sexual characteristics during puberty
6.6.S1: Annotate diagrams of the male and female reproductive system to show names of structures and their functions
6.6.U6: Testosterone causes prenatal development of male genitalia and both sperm production and development of male secondary sexual characteristics during puberty
6.6.S1: Annotate diagrams of the male and female reproductive system to show names of structures and their functions
6.6.U7: Estrogen and progesterone cause prenatal development of female reproductive organs and female secondary sexual characteristics during puberty
DAY 3
6.6.U8: The menstrual cycle is controlled by negative and positive feedback mechanisms involving ovarian and pituitary hormones
6.6.A 4: The use of IVF of drugs to suspend the normal secretion of hormones, followed by the use of artificial doses of hormones to induce super ovulation and establish a pregnancy
6.6.A5 William Harvey’s investigation of sexual reproduction in deer.
6.6.NOS Developments in scientific research follow improvements in apparatus- William Harvey was hampered in his observational research into reproduction by lack of equipment. The microscope was invented 17 years after his death
