Middle school environmentalists record the pH of four different liquids, including two aerosol cleaning products. They liken the products to acid rain and speculate in writing which might affect the human respiratory system. Although...

Students study the structure of the lungs. In this lung structure lesson, students use lung models to study the structure of lungs and experiment to measure the amount of air in the lungs.

In this respiratory system: breathing worksheet, students read through the given notes. Students then compare the different respiratory systems with that of an earthworm, fish, insect, and frog.

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 analyze the function of the lungs. In this lesson about the Respiratory System, students explore breathing and the movement of air through the lungs. Students perform an 4 part experiment to observe what it might look like for...

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...

Seventh graders demonstrate the processes of science by posing questions and investigating phenomena through language, methods and instruments of science. They study the body features or systems of several animals.

Learners design a pumping device that will effectively pump fluid through a model "cardiovascular system." They explore the effects of too much and too little pressure on a circulatory system.

Students explore the human anatomy. In this respiratory system lesson, students conduct an experiment to simulate the capacity of human lungs. 

For this human body worksheet, 6th graders respond to 13 different questions related to parts of the human body. First, they determine how many times the heart beats a minute and the 2 types of blood vessels. Then, students describe the...

Fifth graders identify the symptoms of asthma. In this biology lesson, 5th graders draw and label models of heart and lungs. They conduct a survey on asthma and construct graphs based on result.

In this labeling the respiratory system worksheet, students observe an illustration of the respiratory system and label the heart, ribs, trachea, bronchioles, diaphragm, lung, and bronchus. Students write seven names.

Biologists know of more than 2,300 living species of amphibians. Learn more about the four orders of amphibians with an interesting presentation. It explains the similarities and differences between the thousands of species of...

Students Explain how an increased level of activity translates to cells needing more oxygen and how the lungs supply this oxygen by entering the blood stream. They also can explain that the heart is responsible for moving both oxygenated...

Middle schoolers apply the the scientific method to an investigation.They develop and perform a scientific procedure for determining lung capacity. In addition, they write a report to display information and share their procedures with...

Students perform experiments to determine their lung capacity and respiration rate. After choosing and performing one of two methods to discover lung capacity, they measure their respiratory rates and assess conditions that affect them....

Young scholars construct an 'edible' map of the respiratory system using different foods. They follow along with the teacher and place foods on their map to symbolize the different parts (licorice to represent the trachea). They eat...

The student will calculate the vital capacity of the air in the lungs and trace the pathway of air into and out of the lungs. They describe the pressure changes that occur within the chest cavity when you breathe. They compare air that...

Students experiment with the alveoli by showing how nicotine, tar and carbon dioxide can affect the lungs. They role play being nicotine, carbon dioxide, tar, alveoli and cough.

In this crossword puzzle worksheet, middle schoolers answer 16 clues about vocabulary related to the human respiratory system. Clues list number of letters for correct word.

Students study the components and functions of the respiratory and circulatory systems. They take blood pressure using a stethoscope and investigate ways to maintain a healthy respiratory system.

In this respiratory system worksheet, students label the parts of the respiratory system shown in the given diagram. Then they write the name of the structure described on the line. Students also determine the difference between inhale...

In this smoking worksheet, learners complete a crossword puzzle by figuring out the vocabulary words associated with the 14 clues given about this effects of smoking.

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.
