The Heart is a Pump
Circulate this news: the heart is a pump containing one-way valves! Following the previous lesson on the external structure of the heart, learners now take a look at the inside. They use a three-color diagram to label a black-and-white...
Baylor College
What is Blood Pressure?
Find out how we describe the force created by the blood against the walls of the vessels in a heart-pumping instructional activity! As part of a unit on the heart and circulatory system, cardiology kids use a blood pressure monitor to...
Curated OER
Smart Ideas Lesson Plan
Seventh graders create a concept map about the cardiovascular system. In this life science lesson plan, 7th graders identify the parts and functions of each system component. They explain how cardiovascular system works with other...
Curated OER
Heart Beating Exercise
Students examine video clips and websites that explore the heart. They find and take their pulse while at rest and after exercising. They discuss foods which are good and bad for heart health.
Curated OER
A Healthy Heart
Sixth graders create a spreadsheet using specific data. A speaker comes to discuss the heart, and the difference between anaerobic and aerobic activity. They make posters to encourage a healthy heart lifestyle.
Curated OER
Where Does the Blood Go?
Students investigate where the blood in our hearts travels by observing a diagram in class. In this cardiovascular lesson, students examine their own heart by checking their pulse in class. Students investigate a human body diagram and...
Curated OER
The Heart Stopper
Use the pump from a spray bottle to drive a model of the heart in action! In addition to modeling the function of the heart and blood vessels, aspiring anatomists also simulate arterial blockage. They compare the effects of increased...
Curated OER
Circulatory Circles
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...
