Students research the structure and function of the nervous system. They prepare a model or representation of neural transmission. Students create an infomercial about nerve cells.

In this cells learning exercise, learners review different types of cells including their different functions and shapes. This learning exercise has 6 matching and 3 short answer questions.

Fifth graders examine how a red blood cell travels throughout the body. Using a model, they follow the flow of blood throughout the entire body. They identify the functions of the lungs and discuss the difference of the blood entering...

Five questions are presented and answered as a means of delivering information on the respiratory system. Using red and blue game chips, physiology learners model the movement of blood through the lungs. Groups of learners time how long...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Students identify the different parts of the respiratory system of the human body. They work together to complete an activity and worksheet about the effects of radon on the lungs. They research lung diseases if time permits.

In this skeletal system activity, students will read a graphic organizer and complete 1 short answer question about the five functions of the skeleton. Then students will use a graphic organizer about muscle types to fill in a table...

Why is breathing so difficult for asthma sufferers? To find out, learners build their own lung models in the investigation (from a British website, hence the term ventilation system instead of respiratory system). Using...

Students design a pumping device that will effectively pump fluid through a model "cardiovascular system." They explore the effects of too much and too little pressure on a circulatory system.

Learners explain the parts of the body that are involved in breathing and explore lung function.  In this model lung lesson students make a model of a lung then interpret and explain it. 

Students study the function of lungs. In this lung function lesson plan, students complete an experiment using balloons to study the way lungs work. Students study a diagram of their lungs and make a hypothesis for their lung capacity...

Students create a simulated lung to explore its functions as part of the respiratory system.

Students explore the parts of the respiratory system in this six lessons unit. The lessons presnt the concepts of the breathing, the function of oxygen in the system, how sounds are made, and the effects of pollution, smoking and disease...

Students examine human blood flow by comparing the pulse of athletes.  In this human body lesson, students discover the equation for finding the cardiac output from a human heart.  Students identify heart rates of accomplished...

In this circulatory system worksheet, students label the diagram of the heart to include each of the terms listed. Then the draw arrows showing the path of oxygen-rich blood and poor blood. Students describe pulmonary circulation and its...

An attractive and informative body systems crossword plus its answer key is provided for your life science learners. The topic is the organs. With 23 prompts to address, they are sure to get a complete review in identifying the systems...

Students experience a variety of activities that relate to human physiology and their functions. They create graphs and charts after testing their heart rates and blood pressure They conduct a survey of the student body and create ...

Young scholars study the structure of the lungs. In this lung structure instructional activity, students use lung models to study the structure of lungs and experiment to measure the amount of air in the lungs.

Eighth graders are introduced to the workings of the major systems of the Human Body: circulatory, digestive, respiratory, nervous, skeletal, and endocrine Systems. They learn the major organs of the systems and their functions.

In this human body worksheet, students will review the characteristics of the body systems: skeletal, circulatory, muscular, digestive, urinary, endocrine, reproductive, lymphatic, and respiratory systems. This worksheet has 12 fill in...

Students study the respiratory system, the lungs and air.  In this respiratory lesson students describe technologies that engineers have found that improve the health of the respiratory system. 

When learning about the respiratory system, how do learners know what is important? One way is to use a self-assessment or study like the one found here. While the formatting could use some work, the concepts are solid. Depending on your...

Seventh graders examine the basic functions of the human body and see how changing demands affect our bodies.  In this human organism instructional activity students participate in several activities that are about the human body...

In this arthropods worksheet, students will review arthropod exoskeletons, jointed appendages, molting, and types of respiratory structures. Students will also review arthropod senses, body systems, and reproduction. This worksheet has 6...
