In this heart health activity, students use links provided to complete an activity about the human heart, measuring pulse and graphing results.

Students identify at least three pharmacologically- active chemicals derived from marine invertebrates. They describe the disease-fighting action of at least three pharmacologically-active chemicals derived from marine invertebrates.

In this "All About the Heart" quiz worksheet, students interactively answer 5 questions about heart health, with the option of printing the quiz.

Students investigate where the blood in our hearts travels by observing a diagram in class.  In this cardiovascular lesson, students examine their own heart by checking their pulse in class.  Students investigate a human body...

Students investigate healthy eating by choosing a variety of foods.  For this personal health lesson, students read the story Big News! Straight from the Heart, and discuss which characters ate which foods.  Students list other...

In this science worksheet, students are guided through a computer simulation of a frog dissection in which the heart is kept beating. Students test each of seven solutions by introducing it into the simulated heart. Students collect...

Students are able to identify the components of the cardio-vascular system. They are able to describe the way the heart works to pump the blood. Students are able to explain the function of the cardio-vascular system. They are able to...

Explore human anatomy and physiology using models. Scholars study systems of the human body and design a display for a museum exhibit. To complete the activity, individuals create analogous models of their chosen human body systems.

Pupils put together a 3-D interactive "heart" puzzle and learn the names of heart parts.

Learners examine risk factors associated with heart disease and develop their own personal plans for decreasing the risk of heart disease.

Fifth graders investigate the path of their blood through their heart and body.  In this heart instructional activity, 5th graders recognize that blood travels in one direction through arteries and one through veins. Students...

Students investigate the functions of different body systems. They conduct research about the major body systems to attain information. The teacher prepares the room for the lesson. Students walk and talk through each major system as...

Students discover the names of 13 major bones in the human skeletal system. They construct their skeleton using paper plates and other simple products. Links to templates are provided within the resource.

Eighth graders assess fat content of different food samples. In this biology lesson, 8th graders create a flowchart showing the transport of cholesterol in the bloodstream. They perform tests for the presence of lipids on food samples.

If you're looking for copious background information to support study of the human heart, here it is! You can find photos of hearts, and text about the development, structure, systems, and monitoring that support heart function. Also...

Learners consider the affects of space travel on the human body. In this human physiology instructional activity, students compare how the 5 different body systems work on Earth and in Space. Learners then design a product that an...

Young scholars examine active chemicals that are in marine invertebrates and how they act to fight diseases.  In this marine instructional activity students identify three pharmacologically-active chemicals, describe their disease...

Pupils play a cooperative game.  In this health and fitness lesson plan, students organize a ball game and keep score. Pupils get into groups and try to make it to around all bases.

Ninth graders design a device to treat aneurism. In this biology lesson, 9th graders create a polymer in the lab and explain its uses. They identify the different diseases affecting the circulatory system.

In this anatomy worksheet, students complete 10 fill in the blank questions about an online physiology of circulation virtual experiment.

Students study the importance of life style choices in keeping good heart health.  In this cardiovascular activity students complete activities that allow them to better understand risk factors and prevention of getting...

Ninth graders examine the causes and effects of Heart Disease. In this ESL Current Events lesson plan, 9th graders read an article on Heart Disease. Students complete guided questions on the reading.

Seventh graders experiment with their pulse rate. They investigate a beef heart and locate the route of blood flow and the chambers and discuss the function of each chamber. They discuss the circulatory system and compare theirs to the...

Students explore several examples of cardiovascular diseases. In this anatomy lesson, students explain why physical fitness is very important. They count their pulse rate and record them on a data table.
