Students explore the circulatory system. They participate in media activities to explore blood flow and identify the parts of the circulatory sytem. Students create a model of the circulatory system.

Students are taken to a shady location and they seat in a large circle. They are given three questions each. Students research and answer the three questions. They summarize the circulatory and respiratory system and relate how they...

Second graders complete a unit of lessons on the body systems. They watch the video, Magic Schoolbus Inside the Human Body, trace their bodies and construct the systems on the tracing, simulate the digestive system, and participate in...

First graders explore the heart muscle. They discover that the heart beats faster during exercise. Students locate their heart with a stethoscope and imitate the sound their heart makes. Students locate their carotid pulse before and...

First graders explore the circulatory system and its functions. They draw and label the parts of the circulatory system on traced body paper cutouts, and walk on a large chalk outline of a body, following the path of the circulatory system.

Students 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 write a...

Students study the heart and the circulatory system. They practice taking their pulse. They create a model of blood cells and squeeze tennis balls to demonstrate just how hard the heart muscle works.

Ninth graders design a device to treat aneurism. In this biology lesson, 9th graders create a polymer in the lab and explain its uses. They identify the different diseases affecting the circulatory system.

Students research systems of the human body. In this biology activity, students read the book Yucky Story and identify the systems of the human body. Students create a Powerpoint presentation to demonstrate their knowledge of the content.

Students explore the significance of a resting and an active heart rate. In this heart lesson plan students chart data on their pulse and draw a diagram of the heart.

Students examine the different body systems and how they are interdependent on each other.  In this body systems lesson students draw the body and its parts. 

Students examine the muscular system. In this muscular system lesson, students first draw a realistic representation of their leg or arm bones. Students do several activities to attach these bones to "joints" with string to simulate...

Students research the skeletal system. In this anatomy instructional activity, students measure their bodies to find the approximate length of their bones. They draw and cut out each of the bones and then attach them using brads or...

Students explore the human anatomy. In this respiratory system instructional activity, students conduct an experiment to simulate the capacity of human lungs. 

Students investigate the nervous system.  In this anatomy lesson, students identify and define vocabulary related to the nervous system. Students role play the parts of a nervous system and perform an experiment measuring and...

Students mode the transport of blood through the circulatory system with a water relay. For this circulation lesson, students measure amounts of water and transfer them from one container to another. They use this activity to model the...

Young scholars examine how the workings of the human circulatory system were discovered.  In this circulation lesson students view a  video, divide into groups and act out their given system. 

Students record their pulse rate. In this circulatory system lesson, students use a piece of clay and a straw to make their pulse move visible and easier to accurately count and record.

Teamwork makes the dream work! A well-designed lesson helps learners discover how the circulatory and respiratory systems team up to keep their bodies alive. The lesson includes a diagram of the major connections between the lungs and...

Discover how the human body's digestive system works with a brain and stomach friendly activity. Scholars taste test a variety of foods to find out how they behave once in the mouth. Class members then play a game called Move That...

In this body parts worksheet, learners match words to definitions, categorize organs into systems, name functions of organs, and more. Students complete 5 activities.

Seventh graders explore the basic body systems and design a commercial advertising one of them. They also create a body systems handbook.

Intended for moderate to severely disabled students, this lesson focuses on building an understanding of human anatomy. A secondary special education class reviews, identifies, and labels parts of the body. Including the internal and...

In this How Does the Heart Work worksheet, students write a short explanation of how the heart works based on 7 phrases given. Students also participate in 2 extension activities.
