    I. Conceptual Understanding

    1. Name the parts of the circulatory system.

    โ€ข The circulatory system consists of:

    โ€ข Heart

    โ€ข The Skeletal System and Muscular System together support body movement.

    3. What is inhalation and what is exhalation?

    โ€ข Inhalation: The process of taking in oxygen-rich air into the lungs.

    โ€ข Exhalation: The process of expelling carbon dioxide and water vapor from the lungs.

    II. Questioning and Hypothesis

    4. If you have a chance to meet a doctor (cardiologist), what type of questions would you ask about the heart?

    โ€ข What is the role of the heart in the circulatory system?

    โ€ข How can we keep our heart healthy?

    IV. Information Skills and Projects

    6. Visit a doctor or a nurse nearby and ask the functions of vital organs. Make a brief note.

    โ€ข Brain: Controls all body functions and processes messages from sensory organs.
