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.

Here is a lab activity where teens experience the respiratory system first-hand as they dissect lungs and identify key structures within the system. Although the website is written in British English with some slightly different verbiage...

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.

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...

Students name the vessels and parts of the heart. They trace the path of blood through the heart. Students examine the function of the circulatory system. They recognize the differences between a hear when the body is at rest opposed to...

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...

One of the best parts about teaching the littlest learners is that you can create thematic lessons that use one topic to address every subject. Here is a nice set of thematic teaching ideas that uses turtles and tortoises to teach...

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. 

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...

Students make life-size models of their bodies by having a partner trace them. They glue the basic body parts in the proper places and decorate them with hair, and facial features.

In this online interactive reading comprehension instructional activity, high schoolers respond to 14 multiple choice questions about Pearl Buck's The Good Earth. Students may submit their answers to be scored.

Learners explore asthma.  In this respiratory system and asthma instructional activity, students identify the body parts related to the respiratory system and explain each part's function. Learners construct a 3-D replica of the...

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

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.

In this science worksheet, students read and analyze information about leaves. Students will consider the 5 questions: How is a leaf like a cook? How is a leaf like a fan? How is a leaf like a pair of lungs? How does a leaf affect the...

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...

For this air pollution worksheet, learners collect data for their county of residence as well as 10 surrounding counties including the total population and the county grade for the air. They use a map of their state and identify the 10...

Three autosomal pedigrees are printed on this assignment. Biology scholars read them and determine the phenotypes for several individuals and find which ones inherit different genetic disorders. This fundamental skill can be reinforced...

How can you tell if the text you're reading is informational or narrative? Show your reading class this basic PowerPoint to illustrate the characteristics of an informational text. What makes this presentation especially effective is...

Young scholars will learn about the respiratory system by comparing and contrasting models, building their own models, and giving one another feedback. Questions about familiar body systems can be useful in getting students to start...

Students run lap around the field. They complete dynamic stretching: high knees, high knee kicks, forward lunges, 45 degree, side lunges, and high knee crossover. Students review the scoring and rules of the game speedball. They are...

Sixth graders analyze the components of the respiratory system. In this respiratory system lesson, 6th graders participate in hands on experiments and activities to identify the functions of the major organs of the respiratory system.

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...

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...
