The Human Body: Focusing on Respiratory and Circulatory Systems

Find out how we describe the force created by the blood against the walls of the vessels in a heart-pumping lesson! As part of a unit on the heart and circulatory system, cardiology kids use a blood pressure monitor to find their...

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...

This short movie gives you a fun way to learn the basics of the heart and how the circulatory system works. From KidsHealth.

Eighth graders are able to write a paragraph describing each system based on the information retrieved in class. They trace a route from Holly Springs, MS to Greenwood using the maps that they were given. Students discuss the role of...

Learners follow the path of blood from its entrance into the right atrium of the heart until it leave through the aorta to the rest of the body. They study the heart's structure and how it pumps blood using the included activities. They...

Young scholars use the Internet to research the circulatory system. They explore the different organs of the circulatory system and their functions. There are animations, online quizzes, games, and interactive tours of this system.

Seventh graders study how the heart functions and its parts.  In this circulatory system lesson plan students learn how to take their pulse, blood pressure and respiration. 

Students examine how blood travels through the circulatory system. They act like they are partcipating in a race throughout the system identifying the components as they go. They write a creative story to end the lesson plan.

Young scientists get to the heart of the matter with this comprehensive review of the circulatory system. Addressing the different anatomical structures and processes involved in pumping blood through the human body, this worksheet is a...
