The Circulatory System
Students explore the circulatory system of animals. Using the Internet, students research animals without circulatory systems. They identify the three types of blood vessels and describe the flow of blood through the heart. Finally,...
Curated OER
The Cardiac 100
Students make a full scale diagram. In this heart and blood flow lesson, students pretend they must design the cardiac 100 racecourse and they must teach the new blood cells how to get around the heart. Students create a mini drawing and...

Introduction to the Circulatory System
Fifth graders study the circulatory system. In this circulatory system, 5th graders participate in five stations with different activities at each station. Students discuss their findings from each station.
Curated OER
Pathway of Life
First graders explore the circulatory system and its functions. They draw and label the parts of the circulatory system on traced body paper cutouts, and walk on a large chalk outline of a body, following the path of the circulatory system.
Curated OER
Skeletal, Skin, and Muscular Systems
Eighth graders explain the functions of various body systems. Using a concept map, 8th graders identify and explain the fuctions of the skeletal, skin, and muscular systems of the body. After completing their concept map, students...
