Activity 4:  Circulatory and Respiratory Systems (GLEs:  2, 7, 42)

CC:  Using textbooks and resource materials, such as health books, Internet sites, or trade books, students will review the organs and functions of the circulatory and respiratory systems. Make connections to the needs of the previously studied plants and animals and to the recognition that plants are the primary source of oxygen in the world. Using a stethoscope and stopwatch, students will experience listening to their heartbeats and taking their pulse before and after exertion and rest. They will record their resting pulse rate and their heart rate after exertion. Students should also discuss how they felt before and after exercising relative to body heat
