Lesson 4

Time: 1 block

Objectives:

1. Students will use the web as a means to learn how to interpret their blood pressure readings
2. Students will learn how to burn data to a CD

 (30 minutes) Have students individually visit http://www.bpassoc.org.uk/information/measured.htm

• Answer the questions in handout #4 after visiting the site:
• Have students type the question and answer in MS Word and email their results to you by the end of class.
  • Have the students include, based on their readings up to this point:
    • Their blood pressure rate today
    • Is it high or low?
    • How much off are they?
• Go over the information as a class the last 5-10 minutes of class

Cover any questions students may have about interpreting their blood pressure

Reiterate that the level varies depending on height, weight, etc.

(50 minutes) Have students finish their group PowerPoint and turn in on a CD-RW

Remind the students that steps to burning a CD can be found on the "Help" page

• Teacher will choose at least one slide from each group’s PowerPoint to use as they go over the content in the next block as a means of covering all necessary content as well as creating a sense of worthiness of the students’ work.

The goal here is two-fold:

1. Allowing students to have the essential areas of the blood pressure unit covered

2. Allowing students to see there work being utilized (Since each group is working on the same content, it would be monotonous to have each group present their findings, but if you see some information in some that are not in the others, be sure to include them as well to cover the scope of learning)
