Form: 4 Jauhari

Level: Intermediate

Date: 19.6.2015

Theme: Investigating the physiology of living things

Time: 12.30 p.m.

Topic: Chapter 7: Respiration

Subtopic: 7.3 Regulatory mechanism in respiration
Objective: Understanding the regulatory mechanism of respiration.

Learning outcomes: At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Describe the change in rate of respiration after completing a vigorous exercise.

Correlate the rate of respiration with the oxygen and carbon dioxide content in the body.
Explain the regulatory mechanism of oxygen and carbon dioxide content in the body.
Correlate the rate of respiration with the rate of heart beat.

Moral values:
1. Students will be able to feel grateful to God for give us the free oxygen to live.
2. Student will able to appreciate their lungs from smoking for health condition.

Educational emphasis: Analysing the process mechanism of CO2 and O2, classify the rate of
respiration, communication between students and teacher.
Instructional aids: Diagram of regulatory mechanism of O 2 & CO2 content in the body, diagram of
respiration process, textbook, marker pens.
Previous knowledge: Students already learnt about respiratory structures in humans and their
characteristics, the breathing mechanism in previous subtopic, respiratory
structures and respiratory mechanism in human and animal.

Teaching procedure:
Stage
Set induction
(5 minutes)

Development
(15 minutes)

Instructional activity
1) Teacher greets the
students
2) Teacher give the
example imagine they
are stuck on a deserted
island. You have one
crate of food and a case
of bottled water. How
long do you think you
can make this food and
water last? But what if
you were trapped in a
place with a limited
amount of air? Does
anyone know how long
you can live without air
(oxygen)? Who can tell
me what system is
responsible for
breathing?
3) Teacher then explain
and relate on how the
diagrams work and
relate it with the lesson
that going to be learn
next.
1. Teacher starts to
explain about process
of rate of respiration
and rate of heart beat.
2. Teacher shows the
diagram of regulatory
mechanism of O2 &
CO2 contents in the
body.
3. Teacher explains the
heart, chemoreceptor &
pH process.
4. Teacher also explain
what effect if we take
so much CO2 in our
body.

Learning activity
1. Students greet teacher
back.
2. Students pay attention
3. Students listen to
teachers explanation.

1. Students listen to
teachers lecture and
jotting down notes and
important points in the
learning.
2. Students look at the
diagram and analyse it.
3. Students listen to
explanation and taking
notes from it.
4. Students listen and
apply in their daily life.

Activity 1
(5 minutes)

1.

Teacher ask to divide

the group and student
need to rearrange the
diagram of brain and
heart.
2. Teacher explain with
detail with diagram.
3. Teacher ask the
question to student
about this topic.

1. Students get ready and

fill in blank at paper.
2. Students listen teacher
explanation.
3. Students cooperate with
discussing the correct
answers for the
exercise.

Conclusion
(5 minutes)

1. Teacher then will make

conclusion that
regulatory mechanism
respiration is a crucial
process in human.
2. Teacher also asks
students for their own
conclusions.

1. Students listen to
teachers conclusion.
2. Students respond to
teachers question and
tell their conclusions.

Follow up activity: Teacher asks student to create their own mind map on the steps in the process of
regulatory mechanism of respiration.
