The Endocrine Systems - This science lesson looks at the endocrine system. It briefly overviews what hormones are, the function of the endocrine system, and 3 specific examples of hormones in action. It then concludes by looking at a human growth hormone case study as well as how adrenaline/epinephrine helps us deal with stressful situations.

Everything is explained at the appropriate level and doesn't go into too much detail.

In Order, the Lesson Covers:

• Chemical Signals - Hormones
• Function of the Endocrine System
• Stress Hormones
• The Pituitary Gland
• Growth and the Anterior Pituitary
• Stress and Adrenaline

Included in the lesson package is:

• The teacher version of the presentation
• The student version of the presentation
• THREE embedded videos
• An Exit Ticket with answer key
• Student lesson handout

✅ Clear Overview: Hormones, pituitary gland, growth hormone, and adrenaline explained at the right level.
✅ Interactive Lesson: Student presentation with fill-in-the-blank notes keeps learners active.
✅ Complete Package: Teacher slides, student slides, handouts, exit ticket, answer key, and videos.
✅ Multiple Format Ready: PowerPoint, Google Slides, Docs, and auto-copy links for easy classroom use.

The student version of the presentation contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.

Google and Distance Learning Ready

• This lesson includes both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentation is in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.
• Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.
• Purchase --> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.
