Students are able to recite the circulation of blood through the heart's various cavities and valves. They are able to appreciate what the actual valves and chambers of the heart look like. Students also have a clear vision of why the...

Students explore the significance of a resting and an active heart rate. In this heart lesson plan students chart data on their pulse and draw a diagram of the heart.

Students investigate the circulatory system. In this circulatory system lesson, students complete a WebQuest and explore all the areas of the heart. Students determine the functions of different parts of the circulatory system and...

Fifth graders gather facts about the circulatory system and write an essay.  In this circulatory system writing lesson, 5th graders read their science book and take notes.  Students organize their notes and write and outline...

For this biology worksheet, students examine the transport of gases in the circulatory system and how they bond to hemoglobin.

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...

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 research the basic concepts of heart health and disease and become an expert in an area as it relates to the heart and circulatory system. They prepare a multimedia presentation of their findings.

Students 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 identify the different components of the circulatory system. In this biology lesson, 7th graders use an interactive website to further study the parts and functions of each component. They create a "glog" or PowerPoint...

Students list and describe the purpose/function of blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries). They explain how blood flows through the body, and the role of physical activity and how it strengthens the heart.

This site from the Department of Chemistry at the Washington University provides a deetailed study of the role of hemoglobin in blood physiology. The article is somewhat in-depth, complete with pictures, charts, and a bibliography.

See how the human heart moves blood through the body in this animated feature from the NOVA: "Cut to the Heart" Web site.

This StudyCards stack enables students to review the vocabulary and physiology of the circulatory system.
