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
Gas Exchange
In this biology learning exercise, students examine the process of respiration and specifically look at the biochemistry of gas exchange at the alveoli.
Curated OER
Pollution and Lung Health
Students investigate how pollution affects lung health. In this pollution and lung health instructional activity, students build lung models from a soda bottle and balloons, and then discuss how the emissions from fossil fuels can...
Curated OER
TE Lesson: Out of Breath
Students study the parts of the human respiratory system while examining the gas exchange that takes place in the lungs. They make a model lung. They look at how the respiratory system is affected by spaceflight.
Curated OER
Respiratory System: Breathing
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.
K12 Reader
Oxygen Exchange
An article about the vascular tissues inside plants provides an opportunity to assess reading comprehension. After reading the passage, kids respond to a series of comprehension questions.
Curated OER
The Magnificent Breathing Machine
Students discover their magnificent breathing machine. In this science lesson plan, students learn the functions of the lungs in our bodies and become aware that in breathing an exchange of gases takes place in the lungs.
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...
Curated OER
Characteristics of Arthropods
In this arthropods activity, learners will review arthropod exoskeletons, jointed appendages, molting, and types of respiratory structures. Students will also review arthropod senses, body systems, and reproduction. This activity has 6...
Curated OER
CO2 Blow Out!
Fifth graders determine that carbon dioxide is a gas given off during respiration and that oxygent is the gas that is absorbed during respiration. They determine the air capacity of the lungs.
K12 Reader
It Circulates
Information about the human circulatory system is featured in a reading comprehension worksheet that asks kids to respond to a series of questions based on the provided article
Curated OER
Everything Breathes!
Fifth graders test plants in the dark and in the light to see which grows better and produces more carbon dioxide. In this plants lesson plan, 5th graders also create ways for plants to go through photosynthesis that they can observe.
