Students research the respiratory system and the diseases that affect it. They construct a model of a pair of working lungs and develop an experiment that will decrease lung inflation.in addition, they create a portfolio of their findings.

Students measure lung capacity and explore factors that affect the amount of air the lungs can hold.

Young scholars illustrate a schematic circulatory system of a human body including heart, lungs, arteries, veins and capillaries. Next, students conduct an experiment to increase understanding of the relationship between heart rate/pulse...

Explore the respiratory system with a model. First, pupils build a set of lungs to experiment how they inflate and deflate. Then, they delve deeper into the topic with a web quest to discover new information about the nose, trachea, and...

What do your vital signs tell your doctor? An engaging hands-on lesson plan has your learners monitor their own lung capacity, blood pressure, and heart rate. They then connect the vital measures to the workings of the circulatory and...

Immerse biology learners in circulation and gas exchange for both simple organisms and higher animals. Six pages of short-answer questions and labelling of the human respiratory system are included. This assignment was written for an...

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

Students determine their lung capacity by completing a science experiment with a bottle of water. In this lung science lesson, students discuss the lungs' purpose. Students complete an experiment to determine their lung capacity using a...

Young scholars 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.

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

Students examine the effects of radon on the lungs. They review pictures of the lungs on a large and small scale. They work together to answer questions to complete the activity.

Young scholars observe and determine what their lung capcity is. They fill a two-liter bottle completely with water and place the cap back on. Students fill a dishpan half full of water. They place the cap-end of the bottle into the...

Students research and discuss health issues related to lungs and breathing in this technology-based lesson plan for upper elementary classrooms. Emphasis is placed on internet research including the use of Google and the website...

Students build a model lung. In this life science lesson, students name the different parts of the lung and their function. They explain the process of breathing.

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...

The ciculatory system is introduced here by means of clear, labelled diagrams and charts with details. After learning the basics of the heart strucure, a sequence of slides help show the flow the blood as the heart muscle contracts. A...

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

Kids love superheroes, and for this assignment they create a comic about Captain Oxygen! Direct your class to make sure that their knowledge of the respiratory system is displayed through the dialogue. Note that though the publisher has...

Students 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 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.

In this breathing worksheet, students will review vocabulary words and topics relating to the lungs and the parts of the breathing system in humans. Students will explore how exercise effects the carbon dioxide that is exhaled. This...

Learners explore the job of the lungs. In this Human Body lesson plan, students participate in five activities in order to develop a better understanding of the lungs. Each of the activities relates to how the lungs help us breathe and...

Get ready to have some fun and make some noise! Your youngsters will love getting to scream as loud as they want, but they have to run at the same time that they are screaming. There are a couple of other ideas that you could use to...

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