How can the circulatory system compare to a city map? Pupils distinguish the "roadways" and "vehicles" of the cardiovascular system, compare the anatomy and function of veins and arteries, and review different types of blood cells with...

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.

Here is a lesson which describes a lab activity in which a rat is dissected, and its heart is studied. The lesson has ample background information about three of the rats internal systems, and excellent lab sheets that support the...

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...

Learners examine organisms that are composed of tissues, organs, and systems. They dissect a fetal pig and explore the assigned organs systems such as the skeletal, muscular, and circulatory organs. Students identify and explain their...

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 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 explore the circulatory system and the scientific method. They perform an experiment to measure how varying amounts of physical activity affects heart rate and use the Investigation Journal provided to record their data and make...

Intended for moderate to severely disabled learners, this lesson focuses on building an understanding of human anatomy. A secondary special education class reviews, identifies, and labels parts of the body. Including the internal and...

Students Explain how an increased level of activity translates to cells needing more oxygen and how the lungs supply this oxygen by entering the blood stream. They also can explain that the heart is responsible for moving both oxygenated...

Students study human anatomy and physiology.

Rev your engines and prepare to teach your class about the body's highway! The lesson plan informs pupils about heart anatomy, arteries, and veins and blood flow through microscope observation, dissection, models, and a...

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.

Students design a mobile or wall hanging that reviews the circulatory system. In this circulatory system lesson, students work in small groups to identify the structures of the heart, and create a model in the form of a two or three...

A wordsearch activity about the circulatory system.

Cell-ute the cell! Examine how surface-to-volume ratio relates to cell size through hands-on exploration, observe cell division under the microscope, and collect data on the stages of cell division in an onion root tip. Learners pull it...

Are spiders related to crabs? Study the order of arthropods with a reading selection about animal diversity. It provides details about each class within the order, as well as vivid pictures and explanatory charts. 

Students explore biology by completing a human body worksheet. In this human brain instructional activity, students identify the different anatomy within the brain and the functions those pieces form. Students read an article about...

Fifth graders identify and describe the functions of the major body systems. They discover how to maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and exercise. They answer comprehension questions to end the lesson plan.

What better way for young biologists to learn about invertebrates than by creating their very own? Here, students are assigned a set of invertebrate characteristics and are asked to invent an imaginary ocean animal...

In this experimental design and homeostasis worksheet, students complete 20 sentences with key terms about designing experiments, gathering data, graphing data and determining controls. They also complete sentences about homeostasis and...

Learners explore the structures in the heart and follow the path of blood through the heart and lung. They copy the Fill-in-the blank notes from the colored folders that are located at the stations throught the room. Students are...

Students examine who they are through the arts and sciences. They create a portfolio entitled, " All About Me."

Students conduct experiments on fertilized chicken embryos to determine the possible developmental effects that various recreational drugs (caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and aspirin) might have on them.
