She had a terribly busy day converting oxygen into carbon dioxide; now she just needs a moment to breathe. In the activity, scholars review the function of the respiratory system and discuss bioengineering's role in medicine/health and...

When resting, blood goes from the heart to the lungs and back in about six seconds. An animation of the heart starts simply by showing blood flow through the two halves. It builds in complexity slowly over the course of five slides,...

Fifth graders examine the function of the lungs and create a model of the lungs. Using a plastic cup, drinking straw, plastic bag, small balloon, and a rubber band, they follow step-by-step directions to construct simulated lungs. ...

Nothing is more relevant than the study of the human body. A series of 10 human body lessons begins with growth, ends with reproduction, and hits all the major systems in between. Each lesson provides opening and closing activities as...

How can the circulatory system compare to a city map? Pupils distinguish the "roadways" and "vehicles" of the cardiovascular system, compare the anatomy and function of veins and arteries, and review different types of blood cells with...

Promote reading comprehension and practice naming parts of the human skeleton with this online interactive worksheet! Scholars read about the functions of the human skeletal system, then work online to label a diagram by filling in 18...

While this presentation is designed to be used in conjunction with a series on the respiratory and circulatory system, it could be used as a way to review the functions of the heart, lungs, veins, and arteries. The graphics are well-done...

Inhale, exhale, and rest easy when looking for a supportive tool for your activity on the respiratory system. Seven slides introduce the class to the function of the organs: lungs trachea, diaphragm, bronchial tubes, bronchioles, and...

Third graders examine and identify the effects smoking has on the lungs. They view and discuss pictures of a smoker's lung and a healthy lung, and read and discuss an informational handout. Students then participate in an aerobic...

Learners discover their magnificent breathing machine. In this science lesson plan, students learn the functions of the lungs in our bodies and become aware that in breathing an exchange of gases takes place in the lungs.

Students label parts of the human respiratory system on a diagram. They explain the function of diaphragm.

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

The procedure for constructing a working model of the respiratory system is revealed in this resource. A wonderful approach would be to have biology learners work in pairs to create a model and write the suggested paragraph explaining...

Students are able to identify the components of the cardio-vascular system. They are able to describe the way the heart works to pump the blood. Students are able to explain the function of the cardio-vascular system. They are able to...

Young scholars analyze the function of the lungs. In this lesson plan about the Respiratory System, students explore breathing and the movement of air through the lungs. Young scholars perform an 4 part experiment to observe what it...

In this circulatory system worksheet, students read a paragraph about the function of the different organs that make up the circulatory system. Then students complete 3 short answer questions.

Don't let the first slide and its blurry picture detract you from the value of this PowerPoint. Yes, it needs new graphics, but the organization flows like blood, and it succinctly covers the structure and function of the circulatory...

The body is one big life-sized puzzle! A hands-on lesson builds on the idea and has individuals create life-size models of the body including all important organs of the digestive, circulatory, and respiratory systems. After building...

Students identify and describe the various parts of the body therefore, practicing English vocabulary, pronunciation, and spelling. They discuss the various body parts, some of the inner organs and also, their functions. Finally,...

Students create a model of the lungs and diaphragm. In this breathing instructional activity, students create a model out of a plastic bottle and balloons. They see how the diaphragm helps to fill the lungs with air. 

The human body is an amazing thing! Explore the body with your high school class as they investigate each system in detail. They learn components of each organ system and disease processes that can negatively affect general health and...

Students explore the primary function of the respiratory system in multiple activities. In this respiratory system lesson, students build a model of the respiratory system to investigate how the lungs work.

Second graders identify the major parts of the heart and comprehend the basic function of the heart. They identify the heart in relation to other major structures in the body, including the lungs, brain, and stomach. Students identify...

A series of diagrams and photographs is a vivid tool for delivering a lesson about blood vessels. Each slide has notes for the lecturer to use to explain each slide. Your young biologists will increase their understanding of the...
