KSP Биология 8 grade: Почки и их функции

Introduction

This short-term lesson plan for 8th grade biology covers the topic "Kidneys and Their Functions." It outlines the lesson goal, stages, expected outcomes, and teaching methods for effective class delivery.

Main material

The lesson aims to introduce students to kidney anatomy, their functions, and their role in maintaining homeostasis. By the end, students should be able to identify kidney parts and explain how kidneys clean blood and regulate water-salt balance.

Start with a brief discussion to activate prior knowledge, asking why blood purification is vital. Then use visual aids like diagrams or models showing kidney structure — cortex, medulla, and nephrons.

For practice, students create a flowchart illustrating kidney functions, describing the blood filtration process and urine formation. A group discussion on what happens if kidneys malfunction develops critical thinking.

Methods include guided discussion, illustrated explanation, pair work, and individual tasks. Conclude with reflection questions such as “What new facts did you learn today?” and light oral feedback without focusing on formal assessment.

Use real-life examples and repeat key ideas through questioning and diagrams.

— Can assessment be part of the STLP?
Yes, but only as a brief reflection at the lesson’s end without stressing evaluation.
