  1. Human Anatomy and Physiology Welcome!! 

  2. Welcome!  • Welcome to Human Anatomy and Physiology! • This is a college preparatory course designed for students interested in pursuing a career in a science-related area, health profession, or who simply have an interest in anatomy and physiology. • The focus of this course will be applying previously learned concepts of Biology to the structure and function of the various organ systems, along with their interrelationship and homeostatic abilities in the human body.

  3. Who is your teacher? • Miss Pavicic • 7th year at Aurora High School • I teach both Anatomy and Physiology and Honors Biology • Bachelor of Science in Biology from John Carroll University. • Master of Life Science Education from Ursuline College • Other things I do… • National Honor Society • Avid marathon runner • 3rd of six kids • ?

  4. Course Topics • Unit #1An Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology – Chapter 1 • Unit #2 Cells and Tissues - Chapter 3 and 4 • Unit # 3 The Integumentary System- Chapter 5 • Unit #4 The Skeletal System- Chapter 6 • Unit #5 Joints- Chapter 6 • Unit #6 The Muscular System- Chapter 7 • Unit #7 The Nervous System- Chapter 8 • Unit #8 The Endocrine System- Chapter 10 • Unit #9 The Cardiovascular System: Blood- Chapter 11 • Unit #10 The Cardiovascular System: The Heart- Chapter 11 • Unit #11 The Cardiovascular System: Blood Vessels and Circulation- Chapter 11 • Unit #12 The Lymphatic System and Immunity- Chapter 14 • Unit #13 The Respiratory System- Chapter 15 • Unit #14 Introduction to Digestion – Chapter 2 • Unit #15 The Digestive System- Chapter 16 • Unit #16 Metabolism and Energetics- Chapter 17 • Unit #17 Cell Membrane and Transport- Chapter 3 • Unit #18 The Urinary System- Chapter 18 • Unit #19 The Reproductive System- Chapter 19 • Unit #20 Development- Chapter 20

  5. CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS • Be respectful to your fellow classmates, teacher, and yourself at all times. • Be in your seat and prepared for class to begin before the bell rings. • Bring your textbook, binder, and writing utensils to class EVERY DAY. These three items are a MUST. • Be an active participant in class, and ALWAYS raise your hand when asking questions or responding. • Use appropriate classroom language. Profanity and improper language will not be tolerated. • Lab rules and procedures must be followed and will be strictly enforced. • Absolutely no cell phones are permitted. Procedure as listed in the student handbook will be enforced upon their presence. • Using the restroom, going to the office, visiting a counselor, etc. should only be done if urgent. Unless requested by an administrator, teacher, or counselor, you must use a homework pass upon leaving the classroom. Once all homework passes have been used, you will be required to come in a morning before school or an afternoon after school for 15 minutes. • All rules as stated in the student handbook will be enforced. • Have a positive attitude!

  6. GRADING • GRADING • 65% Summative Assessments • 15% Formative Assessments • 10% Laboratory work • 10% Classwork and Homework **There will be no extra credit opportunities available • The district grading scale will be used. (No class curve) • A 100-89.5 B 89.4-79.5 C 79.4-69.5 D 69.4-59.5 F 59.4-0

  7. Late Work • Late work due to an excused absence will be accepted without penalty if it is turned in on the day you return to school.    • You will receive two Late Passes per quarter. You may use these passes to turn in late work without a penalty. • All other late work will be a zero. This will be strictly enforced.

  8. Attendance • To ensure success in Honors Biology, it is essential that you attend class on a regular basis. If you are absent, you are responsible for making up all work/assignments missed. • Using the restroom, going to the office, visiting a counselor, etc. should only be done if urgent. Not being in class for the entire 50 minute period will disrupt your ability to be successful, and may be disruptive to your classmates.

  9. Extra Help • I LOVE helping my students! I am very flexible and available on most days. Please contact me verbally or via email if you would like to meet with me so we can arrange a time.

  10. Academic Dishonesty • Cheating will be detrimental to your success in Honors Biology and will not be tolerated. The following acts of cheating will result in disciplinary actions as outlined in the student handbook: • Passing calculators during a test, quiz, or other assessment. • Copying someone else’s test, quiz, homework, assignment, or report. • Allowing someone to copy from your test, quiz, homework, assignment, or report. • Looking at notes during a test, quiz, or other assessment. • Sharing questions from a test with students who have yet to take the test. • Listing someone else’s data without giving credit, or worse, making up data to fit the expected answer.  It is acceptable to present your own data, to state the reasons that you feel the results should be disregarded, and then to present another student’s data (making sure the source is acknowledged). • Using opinions, facts, ideas, charts, data and direct quotes from research papers, newspapers, magazines, textbooks, websites, or another person without citing the source. 

  11. Assessments • Unit Summative Exams are given once per unit and will reflect the standards of the Aurora High School Human Anatomy and Physiology Curriculum Standards.  • They will be detailed and comprehensive, including multiple-choice, labeling of human body diagrams, and essay questions.   • Frequent formative assessments will be given to allow for proper intervention to help ensure your success on the Unit Summative Exams. There will be no retakes. (Refer to EXTRA HELP above) • Laboratory work will be directly aligned with the topics discussed in class. Be prepared to perform cat dissections and to view graphic human body images. • Homework will be given almost every day. Please review my Late Work policy.

  12. The Human Anatomy and Physiology course provides an in-depth curriculum that will enable you to learn more about yourself and others. • Whether you are interested in a science-related field, health profession, or simply have an interest in anatomy and physiology, this course is guaranteed to be a rewarding learning experience. • I am very excited to experience this journey with you, and am looking forward to an excellent school year! 
