BIOLOGY LESSON NOTE ON MECHANISM OF TRANSPORT IN HIGHER

ANIMALS

Subject: Biology
Topic: Mechanism of transport in higher animals

Instructional Materials: Specimen, pictures, chart

Aim of the Lesson: To help the learner understand the transport system

Anticipated Problems: Because of advancement in class, most themes might be new to the
learner and might result to difficulty in understanding.

Possible Solution: The teacher explains the concept in details using illustrations and real objects.

Content Objectives: By the of the lesson, learner should be able to;

1.      Explain the mechanism of transport in higher animals
2.      Explain the mechanism of transport in higher plant

Time Table fit/ previous knowledge: The learners learnt the transport system in their previous
class.

Differentiation Method/Multiple Intelligence: The teacher uses different teaching technique

such as discussion, role playing, questioning and use of picture to ensure all the learner benefit
from the lesson.

Mechanism of transport in higher animals

In higher animals, the blood is made to circulate round the body by the pumping action of the
heart through the blood vessels like the arteries, veins, and capillaries.

Mammals’ exhibits double circulation. Double circulation means that blood passes through the
heart twice every time it makes one complete movement round the body.
Pulmonary circulation: During pulmonary circulation, blood is taken from the heart to the
lungs through pulmonary artery and taken back to the heart through pulmonary vein.
