Icefish Blood Adaptations: Viscosity
Most fish freeze to death when the water is too cold, yet some fish live in the Southern Ocean where the water is often below freezing. Scholars use two models representing the blood from most fish versus the blood from Antarctic fish....

Red Gold-The Epic Story of Blood
In this blood worksheet, students watch a video called "The Epic Story of Blood" and answer 24 questions about the creation of blood, how it is produced, blood donation, blood banks and transfusions. Students take an short quiz about the...
Curated OER
Blood Moving from Heart Around Body Simulation
Students review circulation and blood flow patterns from different parts of the body. They play a game using colored yarn and index cards to simulate blood flow, oxygenated blood, arteries and veins.
Curated OER
Circulatory and Respiratory Systems Unit - Biology Teaching Thesis
Students Explain how an increased level of activity translates to cells needing more oxygen and how the lungs supply this oxygen by entering the blood stream. They also can explain that the heart is responsible for moving both oxygenated...

The Science of Respiration and Blood Circulation
Fifth graders study how respiration and circulation are connected. For this respiratory lesson students complete several activities to better understand heart rate and carbon dioxide in the body.Â
Texas Heart Institute
Anatomy: How Does the Cardiovascular System Work?
How can the circulatory system compare to a city map? Pupils distinguish the "roadways" and "vehicles" of the cardiovascular system, compare the anatomy and function of veins and arteries, and review different types of blood cells with...
Lake Science Collaborative
Blood Circulation Simulation
Act out the circulation of blood in the body with an innovative activity. Kids act as either body parts or blood, and carry necessary nutrients and waste throughout different stations to represent the way that oxygen circulates.Â
Curated OER
P.L.E.P: Parts of Blood
Students examine the different parts of blood. For this human blood lesson students work in groups and identify parts of blood and construct a model of human blood.Â
Curated OER
Oxygen Cycle
Students run clockwise around a track in the gym, pretending they are the blood that carries oxygen through the body. They go to the "mouth" station where they take three breaths and pick up an object that represents oxygen. Students...

World Blood Donor Day
In this World Blood Donor Day learning exercise, students complete activities such as reading a passage, phrase matching, fill in the blanks, correct words, multiple choice, spelling, sequencing, scrambled sentences, writing questions,...
Curated OER
Blood
In this blood activity, students describe the four functions of blood. Then they write what each part of the human body illustrated does below the picture. Students also complete the table on possible blood types of a receiver and donor...

What's This? Breathing
Crazy fact: Some animals can survive months without oxygen. An online resource describes some unique ways animals collect oxygen and even live without it for an extended time. Learners read about these special animals and use pop-up...

The Journey of a Red Blood Cell
Fifth graders examine how a red blood cell travels throughout the body. Using a model, they recreate the flow of blood through the heart. They also label the lungs and the differece between the blood that enters the heart and the blood...
Curated OER
Breathing and Holding Your Breath
Five questions are presented and answered as a means of delivering information on the respiratory system. Using red and blue game chips, physiology learners model the movement of blood through the lungs. Groups of learners time how long...
Curated OER
The Circulatory System
Young scholars follow the path of blood from its entrance into the right atrium of the heart until it leave through the aorta to the rest of the body. They study the heart's structure and how it pumps blood using the included activities....
Curated OER
AP: Chapter 42: Circulation & Gas Exchange
Immerse biology learners in circulation and gas exchange for both simple organisms and higher animals. Six pages of short-answer questions and labelling of the human respiratory system are included. This assignment was written for an...
Curated OER
Pump It Up!
Students design a pumping device that will effectively pump fluid through a model "cardiovascular system." They explore the effects of too much and too little pressure on a circulatory system.
Curated OER
Keeping Healthy
Students exercise their muscles to explore concept of heart rate and to explain how blood supplies muscles with oxygen.
Curated OER
Life in a Blood Vessel
Students explain the various activities that are constantly going on in a blood cell by role playing a blood cell, antibody, pathogen, and platelets.
Curated OER
Highways of Life
Learners explore the circulatory system. They participate in media activities to explore blood flow and identify the parts of the circulatory sytem. Students create a model of the circulatory system.
