Instruction, Presentations, Assignments, Activities, etc:
Group Activity- Homeostasis- as suggested in Study Tips on page 19, groups try to come up with other examples of positive and negative feedback loops.
Closure- Review Scientific Method diagram from Chapter 1
Exit Slip- students successfully define homeostasis and explain the biological importance, citing specific example.
