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...

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

Students 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 at...

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

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.

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...

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.
