In this human tissue instructional activity, students read about the 4 different tissue types in the body. Students read 4 pages about the types.

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 exercise their muscles to explore concept of heart rate and to explain how blood supplies muscles with oxygen.

Students explore the cardiovascular system. Through the use of video, students observe the heart pumping an oxygen-enriched blood supply through arteries to the muscles in use during exercise. They participate in activities to explore...
