Description
Students will learn that the endocrine system is made of eight glands that help maintain homeostasis. Each gland is an organ that releases a hormone that has a specific receptor and a specific job to do. They work like a lock and key which will be represented by puzzle pieces. Mix up the puzzle pieces and then ask students to circulate the room until they find the puzzle piece that will complete them.
The product contains three complete labs that are differentiated for all of your students.

Dependent Student Lab- A complete lab. This level is written with a combination of procedural instructions and inquiry questions. They are moderately student-centered with guided inquiry questions throughout the lab. Suggested for on-level learners.
Modified Student Lab - A complete lab. This level provides the most structured lab experience. The lessons may eliminate parts of the lab and change the questioning to include sentence stems or multiple choice questions. Suggested for learners with modifications.
Independent Student Lab - A complete lab. This level is the most student-centered experience. Suggestions are made for the students to get started, but most of the decisions will be student-centered. The students will be responsible for most aspects of the lab and will have the least guidance. Suggested for advanced learners.
