Circulatory System Investigations

For our first human body study, students researched the heart and its circulatory system. We started by picking partners and tracing one another. Then we drew the heart, the lungs, and the brain. Next came the arteries, and last the veins. All parts needed to be color coded. We used the Smart Board to help us with these first steps. After we drew out all of the circulatory intricate pieces students looked through classroom books and magazines for heart, blood, and circulatory facts. Once our life size posters were complete, we posted them all over the hallways. They're huge and they're wonderful! We learned so much!
