Not Just A Bag of Air
Fifth graders label the parts of the respiratory system. They distinguish among the functions of its major organs. They construct a model of the respiratory system. They watch an animated video and utilize the Internet for research of...
Curated OER
Take Deep Breath
Fifth graders become familiar with how the diaphragm expands to draw air into our lungs and contracts to exhale carbon dioxide. They also label the major parts of the respiratory system through the use of interactive Internet research...
Curated OER
Respiratory System
Students identify elements of the respiratory system. They write notes on cards, diagram the respiratory system and label it. As a class, students discuss the function of each part of the respiratory system and explore the difference...

Modelling the Human Ventilation System
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...
Curated OER
Respiratory System
Students identify the parts of the respiratory system and how they interact. They define vocabulary words and draw an outline of themselves and label the parts of the respiratory system. They distinguish between healthy and unhealthy...

The Digestive System
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...
Curated OER
Human Body Systems
Seventh graders investigate the structure and function of body systems and their inter-relationships. They draw and label the major body systems, observe demonstrations of various body systems, define key vocabulary terms, and compare...

Making a Body System Booklet
Students create a body booklet by having their partner trace the outline of their body onto butcher-block paper.
Curated OER
How Air Moves In and Out of the Lung
Students gain an understanding of the respiratory system. In this biology lesson plan, students demonstrate how air enters and leaves the lungs, and explore the relationship between breathing rate and exercise.

CO2 Blow Out!
Fifth graders determine that carbon dioxide is a gas given off during respiration and that oxygent is the gas that is absorbed during respiration. They determine the air capacity of the lungs.
