CIC2601 ASSIGNMENT 2 SEMESTER 1 2025 (ANSWER GUIDE) – DUE 3RD JUNE 2025 Lesson Plan: Integrating Digital Technology in Teaching Grade 10 Life Sciences (Human Circulatory System) 1. Integration of Digital Technology In this Life Sciences lesson for Grade 10 learners at a public high school in Gauteng Province, South Africa, I will integrate the use of interactive 3D simulation software such as PhET Interactive Simulations and Visible Body – Human Anatomy Atlas. These digital tools are accessible via low-cost Android tablets or the school’s computer lab (where available), aligning with the Department of Basic Education’s e-Education policy to "harness ICTs to enhance teaching and learning" (DBE, 2004). Purpose of the digital tools: • Allow learners to visualize and manipulate a 3D model of the circulatory system. • Simulate blood flow through the heart, veins, and arteries, showing real-time changes when parameters like blood pressure or pulse rate are adjusted. • Support interactive learning with guided questions and problem-solving tasks on how lifestyle choices (e.g., diet, exercise, smoking) affect cardiovascular health — which is highly relevant in the South African health context where heart disease and hypertension are rising.
