| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

Wellness and Homeostasis
Flexible (appropriate for various grade levels)
Biology
30 minutes
20 students
This lesson aligns with the Canadian national biology curriculum standards regarding body systems, wellness, and physiological processes.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Homeostasis | 5 | Briefly introduce the topic of homeostasis. Ask students what they know and share some key definitions. |
| 2 | Physiological Processes | 10 | Discuss the key physiological processes that contribute to homeostasis (e.g., temperature regulation, pH balance). Provide examples. |
| 3 | Examples in Human Body | 7 | Present specific examples of homeostasis in various body systems (e.g., blood sugar regulation, hydration). Use PowerPoint slides and video. |
| 4 | Relationship to Wellness | 5 | Facilitate a discussion on how homeostasis affects overall wellness. Engage students in identifying daily activities that promote homeostasis. |
| 5 | Summary and Assessment | 3 | Recap key points from the lesson. Distribute a short quiz or assessment sheet for students to fill out individually. |
Students are assigned to read a chapter on homeostasis related to environmental factors affecting wellness. They will complete a worksheet summarizing the key concepts but will submit their work without presenting it in front of the class for privacy and comfort.
