In this biology worksheet, students review the parts, function and diseases affecting the respiratory system to answer 37 short answer questions.

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

Third graders gather information by questioning, forming hypothesis, collecting and analyzing data, reaching conclusions and evaluating results, and communicating procedures and findings to others. Then they demonstrate an understanding...

Students are taken to a shady location and they seat in a large circle. They are given three questions each. Students research and answer the three questions. They summarize the circulatory and respiratory system and relate how they...

Students examine the carbon cycle while identifying its sources, sinks, and release agents. Using magazines and newspapers, groups of students design collages illustrating the carbon cycle. Finally, they write responses to several...

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.

Seventh graders explore the structure, function, and diseases of the respiratory system. They research basic information about the respiratory system and create a concept map to illustrate it. Students research a disease and create a...

Students explore the respiration rate of a mealworm. Through experimental means, they determine the average volume of oxygen used and discuss factors that affect the respiration rate of an organism.

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.

Students 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 the class.

Students examine the disease Cystic fibrosis, the causes, and the effects it has on the respiratory system. Students use the Biology Workbench and tools on the National Center for Biotechnology Information website to study the protein...

High schoolers explore the role, functions, and conditions in which lactic acid is produced. They share ideas to complete a KWL on the vocabulary for the lesson then research these ideas futher on the internet using a set of prompting...

Young scholars participate in an experiment in which they gather and examine particiles in the air. They place pollution detectors at different locations and identify problem areas. They discuss how engineers can use this type of...

Students explore respiration in a lake ecosystem by experiment and research.

Find out about the essential role energy plays in cell function and in sustaining life. Trace energy transformations as they pass from one living thing to another.
