Blood Vessels Lab
In this blood vessel learning exercise, students compare microscope slides of arteries, veins, and capillaries. This learning exercise has 43 fill in the blank questions.
Curated OER
Cardiac Maze
Students participate in a role-play activity to lean about red and white blood cells, veins, capillaries and arteries. They also see how blood passes through the heart, lungs and out of the body, carrying oxygen and nutrients.
Curated OER
Science: Put Your Heart into Engineering
Students examine the heart and vascular system and the need for artificial valves. After explaining how heart valves function, they design their own heart valves for experimentation. They predict the speed of fluid flowing through...
Curated OER
Blood Moving from Heart Around Body Simulation
Students review circulation and blood flow patterns from different parts of the body. They play a game using colored yarn and index cards to simulate blood flow, oxygenated blood, arteries and veins.
