The Circulatory System - Part IV
First graders explore the heart muscle. They discover that the heart beats faster during exercise. Students locate their heart with a stethoscope and imitate the sound their heart makes. Students locate their carotid pulse before and...
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
And The Beat Goes On...!
Students explore the circulatory system. They observe a dissection of a heart and view the path that blood takes through the heart and the circulatory system. Students identify the structures and functions of the heart. They write a...
Curated OER
The Heart of the Matter
Students study the heart and the circulatory system. They practice taking their pulse. They create a model of blood cells and squeeze tennis balls to demonstrate just how hard the heart muscle works.

Systems of the Human Body
Students research systems of the human body. In this biology lesson, students read the book Yucky Story and identify the systems of the human body. Students create a Powerpoint presentation to demonstrate their knowledge of the content.
Curated OER
Body Voyager
Students explore the significance of a resting and an active heart rate. In this heart instructional activity students chart data on their pulse and draw a diagram of the heart.
Curated OER
Your Amazing Body
Students examine the different body systems and how they are interdependent on each other. In this body systems lesson plan students draw the body and its parts.

Human Anatomy- How Do We Move?
Young scholars examine the muscular system. For this muscular system lesson, students first draw a realistic representation of their leg or arm bones. Young scholars do several activities to attach these bones to "joints" with...
Curated OER
The Skeletal System
Students research the skeletal system. In this anatomy lesson, students measure their bodies to find the approximate length of their bones. They draw and cut out each of the bones and then attach them using brads or glue.
Curated OER
Human Anatomy- How Do We Move?
Students explore the human anatomy. In this respiratory system lesson, students conduct an experiment to simulate the capacity of human lungs.
Curated OER
The Nervous System
Students investigate the nervous system. In this anatomy lesson, students identify and define vocabulary related to the nervous system. Students role play the parts of a nervous system and perform an experiment measuring and...
Curated OER
The Science of the Heart and Circulation
Young scholars mode the transport of blood through the circulatory system with a water relay. In this circulation lesson plan, students measure amounts of water and transfer them from one container to another. They use this activity to...
Curated OER
Building a Circulation City
Students examine how the workings of the human circulatory system were discovered. In this circulation lesson plan students view a video, divide into groups and act out their given system.
Curated OER
Visible Pulse
Young scholars record their pulse rate. In this circulatory system lesson, students use a piece of clay and a straw to make their pulse move visible and easier to accurately count and record.
