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
Can You Catch Your Breath?
Students apply the the scientific method to an investigation.They develop and perform a scientific procedure for determining lung capacity. In addition, they write a report to display information and share their procedures with the class.
Curated OER
How Do We Breathe?
Students study the structure of the lungs. In this lung structure instructional activity, students use lung models to study the structure of lungs and experiment to measure the amount of air in the lungs.

Biology: Lung Capacity
Students perform experiments to determine their lung capacity and respiration rate. After choosing and performing one of two methods to discover lung capacity, they measure their respiratory rates and assess conditions that affect them....
Curated OER
Respiration, Circulation, and Excretion
In this body systems worksheet, students place 11 vocabulary words into a word puzzle by matching the terms with their definition. The vocabulary words are review of the respiratory, circulatory, and urinary body systems.
Curated OER
Just Breathe
Learners 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.
Curated OER
The Respiratory System
The student will calculate the vital capacity of the air in the lungs and trace the pathway of air into and out of the lungs. They describe the pressure changes that occur within the chest cavity when you breathe. They compare air that...
Curated OER
Respiratory Attack Tag
Students experiment with the alveoli by showing how nicotine, tar and carbon dioxide can affect the lungs. They role play being nicotine, carbon dioxide, tar, alveoli and cough.

Helping Kids with Asthma Succeed
Understanding this common breathing challenge can be a boon for suffering students.
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.
Curated OER
Diaphragm-Relax And Breathe
Students examine breathing. In this diaphragm lesson students complete a lab that shows them how lungs breathe.
Curated OER
The Respiratory System
In this respiratory system instructional activity, students compare how much air a person can typically exhale in one breath as compared to others. Then they develop a questionnaire to test their subjects and respond to the questions...

Your Energy Out
How much activity is appropriate for elementary school youngsters? What kind of activities do they need to do? Check out the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. Look to see what are age-appropriate activities for each grade...
Texas Heart Institute
Exercise: What Kinds of Activities Are Best?
What happens in the muscles during anaerobic and aerobic exercise, and how does this affect the heart and our overall health? A cross-curricular instructional activity that introduces learners to the lifelong benefits of exercise,...
Curated OER
Gas Exchange
For this biology worksheet, high schoolers examine the process of respiration and specifically look at the biochemistry of gas exchange at the alveoli.
Curated OER
Air, Air Everywhere! Lesson 2: Acid Rain
Middle school environmentalists record the pH of four different liquids, including two aerosol cleaning products. They liken the products to acid rain and speculate in writing which might affect the human respiratory system. Although...
Science Matters
Post- Assessment: Transport Systems in Animals and Plants
A little bit of this and a little bit of that. The final lesson of the 21-part unit assesses learners on each animal and plant system. The test covers the basics of each system and focuses on key vocabulary from the unit.
Curated OER
Edible Health
Pupils construct an 'edible' map of the respiratory system using different foods. They follow along with the teacher and place foods on their map to symbolize the different parts (licorice to represent the trachea). They eat their maps.
Curated OER
The Respiratory System
In this respiratory system worksheet, students review how the air passageways and lungs transport oxygen through the respiratory system. Students also review the mechanics of breathing. This worksheet has 6 multiple choice and 6 true or...

How to Make a Model of the Human Respiratory System
Young scholars label parts of the human respiratory system on a diagram. They explain the function of diaphragm.
Curated OER
Not Just A Bag of Air
Fifth graders label the parts of the respiratory system. They distinguish among the functions of its major organs. They construct a model of the respiratory system. They watch an animated video and utilize the Internet for research of...
Curated OER
Discovering the Breakdown
Fifth graders investigate diseases of the respiratory system. For this respiratory system lesson, 5th graders research, using a variety of sources, the common diseases this system. They determine the causes of a breakdown in the system...
