Hands on Your Heart - Biology Teaching Thesis
Learners are able to recite the circulation of blood through the heart's various cavities and valves. They are able to appreciate what the actual valves and chambers of the heart look like. Students also have a clear vision of why the...
Curated OER
The Science of the Heart and Circulation
Students mode the transport of blood through the circulatory system with a water relay. In this circulation instructional activity, students measure amounts of water and transfer them from one container to another. They use this activity...

Pump It Up!
Young scholars 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
Building a Circulation City
Students examine how the workings of the human circulatory system were discovered. In this circulation lesson students view a video, divide into groups and act out their given system.
Curated OER
What Does The Heart Do?
Students study the relationship between the heart and circulation. In this circulatory system lesson, students read the "What Am I?" article about the heart and discuss. Students draw a heart and lungs, discover how blood is pumped...

Human Body Systems
Seventh graders investigate the structure and function of body systems and their inter-relationships. They draw and label the major body systems, observe demonstrations of various body systems, define key vocabulary terms, and compare...
Curated OER
Stop the Bleeding
Students explore various parts of the heart and blood vessels . They begin with an overview of the components of the cardiovascular system. They see a cross section of an artery and watch how a blood clot develops.

Introduction to the Circulatory System
Fifth graders analyze the components of the circulatory system. They take notes as they watch a video on blood and circulation. Students discuss the human circulatory system, including blood, veins, arteries, capillaries and the heart.
Curated OER
Introduction to the Circulatory System
Fifth graders are introduced to the human circulatory system. After watching a Bill Nye video, they identify any misconceptions they had before watching it. They practice taking guided notes and discuss the video as a whole.
Curated OER
The Circulatory System
Pupils 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, pupils...
Curated OER
Mapping the Circulatory System
Students investigate the circulatory system in human beings. In this human body instructional activity, students create an outline of a human body using colored markers and butcher paper. Students use red and blue colors to...
Curated OER
Endocrine And Reproductive Systems
Learners investigate the hormonal levels that are created with the endocrine system and tie it to the act of sexual reproduction. The lesson plan discusses how the respiratory system is organized as a comparison to the endocrine system...
