ATLAS : GAMES : Veins vs Artery board.

Theme : Physiology of Living Things

Learning Area : Transport

Learning Objective : Synthesising the concept of circulatory system

Learning Outcomes : A students should be able to: State what a circulatory system is. State the three components of circulatory system in humans and

animals. State the medium of transport in human and animals. State the composition of human blood. Explain the function of blood and haemolymph in transport. Describe the structure of human blood vessels. Explain how blood is propelled through the human circulatory

system, function of the human heart.

Type of game : Vein Vs Artery

Instructions / Rules : 1. Use the vein vs artery board provided. 2. Take turns to throw the dice. 3. Each player must throw a six to begin playing in the game.

After that, a six means an extra turn. 4. The number of moves is that shown on the dice. 5. If the chip lands at the bottom of a vein, move up the vein. 6. If the chip lands at the top of an artery, go down the artery. 7. If the chip lands on a heart, answer a question from the

stack of question cards : If the answer is correct, move three steps forward. If the answer is wrong, move five steps backward.

8. The first player to finish wins.

Materials needed : 1. A dice 2. Chips 3. A set of question cards 4. Vein vs artery board

VEIN VS ARTERY: QUESTION CARDS : THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEMQUESTIONS ANSWERS
