o What does this demonstrate about the respiratory system?
Part 2: The Human Circulatory System
Task 3: Research and Compare
1. Research Questions:
o What are the main components of the circulatory system?
o What is the difference between arteries, veins, and capillaries?
o How do the heart and lungs work together in circulation?
2. Comparison Table:
Create a table comparing arteries, veins, and capillaries based on:
o Structure
o Function
o Direction of blood flow
Task 4: Creative Diagram
● Draw a labeled diagram of the human heart.
● Include the following parts: Right Atrium, Left Atrium, Right Ventricle, Left Ventricle,
Aorta, Pulmonary Artery, Pulmonary Vein.
● Use arrows to show the flow of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
Task 5: Fun Facts Collection
● Research and list 5 interesting facts about the circulatory system.
● For example: "Did you know that your heart beats about 100,000 times a day?"
Task 6: Creative Writing
Imagine: You are a red blood cell traveling through the respiratory and circulatory systems.
Write a story about your journey, including:
● Where you pick up oxygen.
● How you deliver oxygen to body cells.
● How you return to the lungs to release carbon dioxide.
Task 7: Test Yourself
