students answer the following
questions:
1. Describe the rides in a water
park? How do they work? Be
descriptive as possible.
2. All are rides the same? For
example are they all covered
(i.e. in the dark)? Do some
require you to use tubes?
How about speed?
3. What fluid is circulated
throughout the park?
I follow these questions by showing
students this video on blood

Evaluate
Teacher evaluates students by asking Students complete the
students to solve using a worksheet worksheet
Students feedback: Students were actively participating in questioning and answering’s. They were
drawing blood vessels.
Self reflection : This activity can be improvised by adding more relevant examples and more images.
Could have been more interesting by involving more activities.
