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

Middle schoolers 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 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...

Seventh graders experiment with their pulse rate. They investigate a beef heart and locate the route of blood flow and the chambers and discuss the function of each chamber. They discuss the circulatory system and compare theirs to the...

Students explore mathematical operations while studying nutrition. In this physical fitness lesson, students explore calories, pulse rate, and the circulatory system. Students use mathematical data to create a healthy physical fitness...

Students analyze the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and classify them according to whether or not they are controllable. They discover how to reduce the probability of high blood pressure through diet and exercise.

More asthma attacks happen at higher altitudes, but why? Scholars complete worksheets, learning about homeostasis and feedback related to breathing. Then, they work in small groups to experiment with breathing in limited amounts of...
