free to print this PDF file for your students.
-
Body Systems Project - Students will work in groups to share information with their
classmates on the human body systems. You are welcome to print
this PDF document for classroom use.
-
The Respiratory and Circulatory Systems - Have
students explore the breathing mechanism: how oxygen enters the
body, passes into the blood, and is transported to body cells, where
it combines with digested food to release energy. An exploration of
the heart and blood vessels focuses on how oxygen and nutrients are
transported to body cells and how wastes are carried away for
eventual elimination. Students then use a siphon-pump model to
explore the double-pump action of the heart, which leads to an
investigation of heart rate and the factors that affect it.

Career Interview - Here's
another idea from Jill Castek. Students will select to either
interview a person whose career involves the chosen system of the
human body, or students may perform a role playing activity. Help
suggest careers for each system so that all interviews will not be
from physicians or coaches.
