For this video review about the human body worksheet, students observe the Eyewitness video "The Human Machine" and fill in the blanks with comprehensive answers. Students write 23 answers. 

Take a deep breath and have your class construct working models of a lung! Using 500ml plastic bottles as the chest cavity, and balloons for the lung and the diaphragm, learners work in groups to make a model. The models help them to...

Students create a model of the lungs and diaphragm. In this breathing lesson, students create a model out of a plastic bottle and balloons. They see how the diaphragm helps to fill the lungs with air. 

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 study animals. In this machines and tools instructional activity, students study animals to figure out how various tools were created for humans to use. They are read the story An Elephant Never Forgets its Snorkel to help spark...

Here is a well-designed science lesson plan that shows learners that everything that organisms do in ecosystems, including running, breathing, burrowing, growing, requires energy. After a thorough discussion of their own eating and...

Students study the parts of the human respiratory system while examining the gas exchange that takes place in the lungs. They make a model lung. They look at how the respiratory system is affected by spaceflight.

Students examine the inhalation and exhalation process. They create a model pair of lungs from given materials. They discover the technology that has been developed based on engineers examining the respiratory system.

Learners understand the tools that will be used in the lab in the 21st century. For this job preparation lesson, students experiment and understand how to use lab equipment. Learners will write about the lab tools they've experimented...
