Assess anatomists' understanding of the structure of the mammalian heart by giving a pretest. Have them visit some websites to further learn about heart anatomy. Then take them into the laboratory to perform a dissection so that they get...

Tenth graders examine the different parts of the heart. In this biology lesson, 10th graders perform dissection of the fetal pig. They explain how the heart maintains homeostasis.

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...

Young scholars relate heart rate and development to environmental conditions through experiment. In cooperative groups, students record the heart rate in developing zebra fish. Groups create a standard curve to predict the temperature...

Middle schoolers explore the circulatory system. They observe a dissection of a heart and view the path that blood takes through the heart and the circulatory system. Students identify the structures and functions of the heart. They...

Fifth graders examine a sheep heart. In this biology lesson, 5th graders dissect a sheep heart to identify the parts of a heart including the aorta, valve, septum, and ventricle.

Students dissect a cricket and note the three body regions, wings, and legs. They observe the yellow malphigian tubes and remove them. They dissect the esophagus and analyze the heart for respiratory rates and heart beat rates.

Students conduct an experiment to test the effects of various chemicals on breathing and to practice animal dissection. They carefully dissect house crickets to identify the breathing structures and determine their rate of respiration....

Young scholars study the brain and examine what the functions of the major functions are.  In this investigative lesson students dissect a sheep's brain and note the similarities and differences between it and a humans brain. 

Students study the characteristics of organisms that are a part of the phylum Chordata.  In this organisms lesson students identify mammals that are native to Saskatchewan.

Pupils 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.

Third graders explore worms in multiple ways. In this lesson on worms, 3rd graders search for worms in their natural environment, record data on worms, and dissect worms.

Young scholars explore a variety of basic fish body form and their functions. They differentiate between different species of fish found in the Chesapeake Bay and St. Mary's River. In addition, they match pictures with descriptions using...

Students explore and observe living development using live fertilized chicken eggs. They open the eggs approximately 72 hrs after fertilization and make observations for several days.
