Students investigate inhalation and exhalation of the respiratory system. They construct a model of the respiratory system using balloons, straws, cups, and rubber bands. Then, they observe inhalation and exhalation and measure the...

Students name the main components of the respiratory system. They write a reaction that contains complete sentences, and uses proper spelling and grammar, after viewing a video. Students define the following terms: lungs, respiration,...

You can breathe easily now that you've found a winning resource. Young biologists learn about the process of cellular respiration, primarily through teacher-led discussion and instruction. They also consider the concept of...

Third graders choreograph a dance to represent the changes in nature. In this dance and nature lesson plan, 3rd graders use sharp quick movements to demonstrate changes.

Fifth graders study how respiration and circulation are connected.  In this respiratory lesson students complete several activities to better understand heart rate and carbon dioxide in the body. 

Fourth graders study intertidal organisms and their role in the food web. In this food web lesson, 4th graders read the book The Sea That Feeds Us and discuss food webs. Students study pictures of intertidal creatures and discuss their...

Students examine the inhalation and exhalation process. They create a model pair of lungs from given materials. They discover the technology that has been developed based on engineers examining the respiratory system.

Students determine their respiratory rate and explore the factors that affect breathing rate.

In this respiratory system learning exercise, students label the parts of the respiratory system shown in the given diagram. Then they write the name of the structure described on the line. Students also determine the difference between...

Young scholars explore oxygen properties by conducting a cell experiment in class. For this respiration lesson, students discuss the process of breathing and how oxygen is inhaled before carbon dioxide is exhaled. Young scholars utilize...

Students gain an understanding of the respiratory system. In this biology lesson plan, students demonstrate how air enters and leaves the lungs, and explore the relationship between breathing rate and exercise.

In this measuring lung volume and capacity worksheet, students perform several experiments testing for exhaled carbon dioxide, measuring lung volume, and measuring lung capacity.

Young scholars read information about the internal organs and body systems. In this organs and systems lesson, students read descriptions of the heart, lungs, stomach, small and large intestine, and liver and gall bladder. Young scholars...

The procedure for constructing a working model of the respiratory system is revealed in this resource. A wonderful approach would be to have biology learners work in pairs to create a model and write the suggested paragraph explaining...

In this breathing worksheet, students will review vocabulary words and topics relating to the lungs and the parts of the breathing system in humans. Students will explore how exercise effects the carbon dioxide that is exhaled. This...

In this respiratory system: breathing worksheet, students read through the given notes. Students then compare the different respiratory systems with that of an earthworm, fish, insect, and frog.

Fifth graders examine the function of the lungs and create a model of the lungs. Using a plastic cup, drinking straw, plastic bag, small balloon, and a rubber band, they follow step-by-step directions to construct simulated lungs. ...

In this vertebrate learning exercise, students review the different adaptations for the 5 groups of vertebrates: birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes. This learning exercise has 12 matching, 1 fill in the blank, and 7 short...

Inhale, exhale, and rest easy when looking for a supportive tool for your activity on the respiratory system. Seven slides introduce the class to the function of the organs: lungs trachea, diaphragm, bronchial tubes, bronchioles, and...

Students measure lung capacity and explore factors that affect the amount of air the lungs can hold.

First graders draw conclusions about the properties of air. In this properties of air lesson, the teacher demonstrates several properties of air and guides students through discovering that air is colorless, tasteless, odorless, exerts...

In this human body worksheet, 2nd graders experiment making a full-sized human body portrait. Students discuss the human body organs and their functions. Students follow and complete 8 precise directives in making a human body portrait.

Students explore asthma.  In this respiratory system and asthma lesson, students identify the body parts related to the respiratory system and explain each part's function. Students construct a 3-D replica of the respiratory system...

Students get a better understanding of air pressure and how it effects our daily lives.
