Animal Physiology & Biological Functions Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson: The Multi-Organ Homeostasis and Ruminant Digestion Paradox Presentation | Plant & Animal Bioscience | Grades 9–12

This is the student-facing slide presentation that introduces the phenomenon, walks the class through observations and driving questions, and frames the evidence students will use for the Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson in the Plant & Animal Bioscience (grades 9–12) chapter Animal Physiology & Biological Functions, built around the phenomenon The Multi-Organ Homeostasis and Ruminant Digestion Paradox. This scaffolded version adds sentence frames and extra supports for students who need them. It is sold separately from the other two parts of the set.

Complete the set: Animal Physiology & Biological Functions Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson: The Multi-Organ Homeostasis and Ruminant Digestion Paradox Teacher Discussion Guide; Animal Physiology & Biological Functions Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson: The Multi-Organ Homeostasis and Ruminant Digestion Paradox Student Response Sheet.
