Curated OER
Respiratory System Model
The procedure for constructing a working model of the respiratory system is revealed in this resource. A wonderful approach would be to have biology learners work in pairs to create a model and write the suggested paragraph explaining...
Curated OER
Pollution and Lung Health
Students investigate how pollution affects lung health. In this pollution and lung health lesson, students build lung models from a soda bottle and balloons, and then discuss how the emissions from fossil fuels can adversely affect lung...
Curated OER
Breathing and Holding Your Breath
Five questions are presented and answered as a means of delivering information on the respiratory system. Using red and blue game chips, physiology learners model the movement of blood through the lungs. Groups of learners time how long...
Curated OER
Your Heart
Students explore human anatomy by defining vocabulary terms. In this human heart lesson, students research the components of the respiratory system and complete handouts based on the role of the heart. Students define a list of heart...
Curated OER
Inhalation and Exhalation
Young scholars investigate inhalation and exhalation of the respiratory system. They construct a model of the respiratory system using balloons, straws, cups, and rubber bands. Then, they observe inhalation and exhalation and measure the...
Curated OER
Circulatory and Respiratory Systems
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...
Curated OER
TE Lesson: Out of Breath
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.
Curated OER
Respiratory System
In this biology worksheet, students review the parts, function and diseases affecting the respiratory system to answer 37 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Circulatory and Respiratory Systems
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...
Curated OER
Catch Your Breath
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...
Curated OER
Just Breathe
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.
