In this activity about the baroreceptor reflex (BR) arc (page 123 of the PDF), learners discover the importance of maintaining adequate arterial blood pressure through a role playing exercise.

In this activity, learners investigate circulation and measure their own your heartbeat. A heart rate, or pulse, is the number of times the heart beats per minute.

This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.

This is a demonstration you can use to show learners how valves and pumps work in concert to move blood through the circulatory system.

In this activity, learners take their own pulse and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.

Learners will build a homemade pump using a balloon, a mason jar, and some straws.

In this activity about how the body regulates blood pressure (page 117 of the PDF), learners make and compare measurements of heart rate and blood pressure from three body positions: sitting, standing

In this activity (page 105 of the PDF), learners measure heart rate and blood pressure and learn how to obtain consistent measurements during repeated tests.

In this health activity, learners create a device so that they not only feel their heartbeat, but also see it, using a straw and some clay.

In this activity, learners make a model of a one-way heart valve to investigate how a heart controls the direction of blood flow.

In this activity, learners explore how eating unhealthy food can damage a heart and arteries.

Learners will construct a model of a heart valve using a film canister, a piece of masking tape, and a piece of paper.

In this activity, learners act out the flow of blood in the human body! A great way to get learners up and moving while learning about the circulatory system.
