Here's a lesson that's not for the faint of heart! The seventh activity in a larger series introduces learners to the circulatory system with a study of the heart anatomy. Using a pig heart, individuals identify the different components...

Find out how we describe the force created by the blood against the walls of the vessels in a heart-pumping lesson plan! As part of a unit on the heart and circulatory system, cardiology kids use a blood pressure monitor to find their...

Pupils use the Internet and books to research the respiratory and circulatory systems. They also write a report on different diseases and present to the class.

Curriculum resources can be expensive—but not this one. An online textbook offers informational text for a complete high school Biology course. Topics include energy flow, body system, genetics, and evolution.

Circulate this news: the heart is a pump containing one-way valves! Following the previous lesson on the external structure of the heart, learners now take a look at the inside. They use a three-color diagram to label a black-and-white...

Aspiring anatomists label a photograph of a human heart by comparing it to a colored diagram on the same page. The video that is mentioned in the procedure does not seem to be available, but the overview provides plentiful background...

In this body systems lesson plan, students work in small groups conduct research to become an 'expert' on one of the 7 body systems. Students present their findings to the class via power point, poster, or song.

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.

Young scholars 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...

Students research systems of the human body. For 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.

Students examine the role of the immune system in the human body. They conduct a hand-washing experiment, answer questions while viewing videos, discuss key vocabulary, draw and label illustrations, and observe demonstrations and record...

Students mode the transport of blood through the circulatory system with a water relay. In this circulation lesson, students measure amounts of water and transfer them from one container to another. They use this activity to model the...

Students examine how the workings of the human circulatory system were discovered.  In this circulation instructional activity students view a  video, divide into groups and act out their given system. 

Students consider the affects of space travel on the human body. In this human physiology lesson, students compare how the 5 different body systems work on Earth and in Space. Students then design a product that an astronaut could use as...

Cancer patients need as much help as they can get. Future engineers design a system that delivers cancer medicine to the lungs but doesn't harm other organs. Using ferrofluids and iron particles, they test out their delivery systems.

Fifth graders identify the symptoms of asthma. In this biology activity, 5th graders draw and label models of heart and lungs. They conduct a survey on asthma and construct graphs based on result.

Upper elementary pupils learn about the blood transportation system and anatomy of the human heart. They fill in an outline of the human heart  (not included) focusing on the flow of blood to and from the heart. Using stethoscopes,...

Young scholars study human anatomy and physiology.

Fifth graders answer a fictitious question asked by their school principal. After reading the question together, they write an appropriate response and show her what they have gathered about the circulatory system. They type their letter...

Seventh graders experiment with their pulse rate. They investigate a beef heart and locate the route of blood flow and the chambers and discuss the function of each chamber. They discuss the circulatory system and compare theirs to the...

Third graders gather information by questioning, forming hypothesis, collecting and analyzing data, reaching conclusions and evaluating results, and communicating procedures and findings to others. Then they demonstrate an understanding...

In this body systems worksheet, students will complete a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting arteries and veins as they relate to the circulatory and respiratory systems.

Students design a mobile or wall hanging that reviews the circulatory system. In this circulatory system activity, students work in small groups to identify the structures of the heart, and create a model in the form of a two or three...

Students identify bones off a skeleton during quizzes; assemble disarticulated skeletons; bird, frog and rat. They dissect frogs, remove the muscle tissue, and identify of bones.
