It is 15 lessons long that go for
75mins each.

Area of Study (AOS): Unit 1 AOS 2: How does the cardiorespiratory system function at rest and during physical activity?
AOS Description: In this area of study students examine the musculoskeletal system of the human body and how the
muscles and bones work together to produce movement. Through practical activities they explore the major components of
the musculoskeletal system and their contributions and interactions during physical activity, sport and exercise.
Students evaluate the social, cultural and environmental influences on movement, and how the capacity and functioning of
the muscular and skeletal systems may act as an enabler or barrier to participation in physical activity. Sedentary behavior,
overtraining and participation at the elite and recreational level are investigated as possible causes of illness and injury to the
musculoskeletal system. Students consider a variety of legal and illegal practices and substances used to enhance
performance from an ethical and a biophysical perspective.

Students are to cut the bottom half of
the heart. This exposes the two
ventricles at the base of the heart,
separated by a large thick wall (the
septum). Observe the chambers.
Students cut up through the centre of
