1. The document presents an innovative teaching manual on the structure of the heart intended for 9th standard biology students. 2. It includes the curricular statement, content analysis, new terms, facts and concepts about the heart, learning outcomes, prerequisites, teaching resources, and a proposed classroom procedure involving presentation, group activities, and review questions. 3. The classroom procedure involves showing a video on heart structure, having student groups assemble heart structure puzzles and label parts, concluding with a review of the four chambers and their roles in blood flow.

CURRICULAR STATEMENT
Develop factual, conceptual, procedural, metacognitive knowledge, process skills and attitude
on the structure of heart through lecture method, participating in group work and group discussion
and evaluation by questioning.
CONTENT ANALYSIS
NEW TERMS

3. 3
Heart, atrium, ventricle, superior venacava, pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, semilunar
valve, bicuspid and tricuspid valve, pericardium etc.
FACTS
 The heart is a muscular organ, which act as a pump.
 Human heart is situated in the thoracic chamber between the lungs.
 Heart is covered by a double walled chamber called pericardium.
 Pericardial fluid is seen between the pericardium.
 Pericardial fluid prevents and protects the heart from external shocks.
 The heart has four chambers- left and right atrium and left and right ventricle.
 The heart is divided in to two halves by a thick wall.
 This wall prevents oxygenated blood from mixing with deoxygenated blood.
 The left side of the heart contains oxygenated blood and right side of the heart, contain
deoxygenated blood.
 The deoxygenated blood from all parts of the body enters the right atrium through superior and
inferior venacava.
 The heart pumps it into arteries which carry it to the lungs.

4. 4
 In the lungs, the blood gives up carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen.
 Oxygenated blood then enters the left atrium by four pulmonary veins.
 When the atrium contracts blood enter the to the ventricle.
 Bicuspid valve and tricuspid valve prevents the back flow of blood from atrium.
 From the ventricle originates the large aorta, which carry the oxygenated blood to the rest of
the body.
MINOR CONCEPTS
 The human heart has four chambers- the upper two chambers are called atria and the lower two
chambers are called ventricle.
 There are valves between the atria and ventricle, they allow the flow of blood only in one
direction.
 The blood vessels that carry blood from the heart are called arteries and the blood vessels that
bring blood to the heart are called veins.
MAJOR CONCEPTS
 Heart is an important circulatory organ.

CLASSROOM INTERACTION PROCEDURE PUPIL RESPONSES
INTRODUCTION
Teacher makes a rapport with the students by
asking questions related to the contextual
situation.
Do you have well in your home?
How many of you fetch water from the well?
The teacher says today we are going to study
about the structure of heart.
PRESENTATION
ACTIVITY-I
The teacher show a CD depicting the structure of
heart and ask the students to observe the different
parts of the human heart.

8. 8
THE HUMAN HEART
Pupil observes and identify the different
parts as right and left atrium, right and left
ventricle,aorta, pulmonary artery,
pulmonary vein, tricuspid valve, bicuspid
valve, superior and inferior venacava.

9. 9
ACTIVITY-II
The teacher gives each group puzzles of the structure
of heart and ask the students to join the parts of heart
and label the different parts parts.
CONSOLIDATION
The human heart consist of four
chambers- right and left ventricle,
right and left atrium, pulmonary vein,
pulmonary artery, aorta, bicuspid
valve, tricuspid valve, superior and
inferior venacava, etc.

The teacher concludes the topic.
CONSOLIDATION
The heart consist of four
chambers namely right and
left atrium and right and left
ventricle.
