Activity 7 Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerous To Your Health Objective: Materials
KEY CONCEPTS:
Each time your heart beats, it delivers oxygen-rich blood to your body, which allows it to function properly. Your heart
rate or pulse is the number of times your heart beats in a minute (BPM or beats per minute). Shorter time intervals may be
used in taking the pulse as long as it comes to 60 seconds upon multiplying with a factor. When you are resting, your heart rate
slows down, as your body does not need as much blood as it does when you exercise.
Procedure:
1. Look at the picture of the smoker’s body below, and take note of the illnesses that might develop due to cigarette smoking.
2. Within your group, brainstorm ideas about the effects of cigarette smoking on a person’s respiratory and circulatory systems
using the Meta plan strategy.
3. Choose a group member who will act as moderator to solicit all the ideas of the members about the negative effects of
cigarette smoking on the circulatory and respiratory systems.
4. Each participant must give at least three negative effects of cigarette smoking on both circulatory and respiratory systems.
Answers must be written on the blank cards.
5. The moderator collects the meta cards and reads each one of them while showing the cards to the whole group so that
everyone can read them.
6. After discussing the ideas within the group, stick and organize all the responses on the blackboard to categorize which
answer falls under the respiratory and circulatory systems. Refer to the example given below.
7. Group the cards with identical or similar statements together into clusters, allowing multiple statements to emerge clearly.
8. Choose a representative to explain the work of the group.
