Students outline a body on butcher paper. Students fill in the circulatory system using materials of various textures. Students decorate all the parts of the circulatory system with art articles, like buttons, yarn, etc.

Students research the process for the preparation of a soup. Students explore the safety issues of food preparation. Students, after presenting their soups to the class, will eat their soups that they have prepared.

Students illustrate a schematic circulatory system of a human body including heart, lungs, arteries, veins and capillaries. Next, students conduct an experiment to increase understanding of the relationship between heart rate/pulse and...

Cells of different organs have unique cell functions. Learn how cell functions vary depending on their roles in the body using an inquiry-based activity. Scholars analyze the cell structure to make comparisons to its functions, allowing...

Students investigate the circulatory system. In this circulatory system lesson, students complete a WebQuest and explore all the areas of the heart. Students determine the functions of different parts of the circulatory system and...

Fifth graders discover how blood moves around the body.  In this circulatory system lesson, 5th graders feel their pulse before and after exercise.  Students count their heart rate. Students use the scientific method to record...

High schoolers identify the different parts of the circulatory system and their function. They work together to create their own model of the system and use it to determine the rate of blood flow. They answer questions related to their...

Fifth graders study the circulatory system. In this circulatory system, 5th graders participate in five stations with different activities at each station. Students discuss their findings from each station.

First graders explore the heart muscle. They discover that the heart beats faster during exercise. Students locate their heart with a stethoscope and imitate the sound their heart makes. Students locate their carotid pulse before and...

First graders recognize that the heart muscle requires food. Students observe a Venn Diagram to identify foods that are good for them. Students provide one ingredient to make healthy heart soup.

Learners 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.

Students study the components and functions of the respiratory and circulatory systems. They take blood pressure using a stethoscope and investigate ways to maintain a healthy respiratory system.

Students investigate the human circulatory system by experimenting with hoses.  In this human body lesson, students create a system of hoses simulating the circulatory system which they utilize to pass objects through....

Eleventh graders explore the major organs of the circulatory system. In this circulatory system lesson, 11th graders create, identify and describe parts of the system. Students view a list of major organs and predict what their job is....

Students name the vessels and parts of the heart. They trace the path of blood through the heart. Students examine the function of the circulatory system. They recognize the differences between a hear when the body is at rest opposed to...

With a partner, youngsters measure their pulse and breathing rates, both at rest and after running in place for a minute. While this activity is not novel, the lesson plan includes a large-scale classroom graphing activity and other...

Here is a lesson which describes a lab activity in which a rat is dissected, and its heart is studied. The lesson has ample background information about three of the rats internal systems, and excellent lab sheets that support the...

First graders consider what effect their behavior has on their health. Students make a fist to indicate the size of his/her heart. They complete a worksheet on the heart, coloring the arteries red and the veins blue.

Students explore the circulatory system. They participate in media activities to explore blood flow and identify the parts of the circulatory sytem. Students create a model of the circulatory system.

Students examine the different body systems and how they are interdependent on each other.  In this body systems lesson students draw the body and its parts. 

Students investigate the nervous system.  In this anatomy lesson, students identify and define vocabulary related to the nervous system. Students role play the parts of a nervous system and perform an experiment measuring and...

Students explore the human anatomy. In this respiratory system lesson, students conduct an experiment to simulate the capacity of human lungs. 

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,...

Students explore the significance of a resting and an active heart rate. In this heart lesson students chart data on their pulse and draw a diagram of the heart.
