The circulatory system is a network of the heart, blood and blood vessels working together to circulate blood around the body.

To present information is to show or share it with others.

A verbal presentation is in the form of spoken words.

A pictorial presentation is in the form of pictures.

A model is used to describe something that can't be experienced directly.

The circulatory system in humans: plan

The use of animal hearts in humans (non-statutory)

In this Human circulatory system unit, pupils learn about the function of the heart, blood and blood vessels in humans. In the Breathing and respiration unit, they will build on this knowledge to learn about the lungs and breathing, including gas exchange in humans. 

In the Healthy eating unit, pupils learnt that animals, including humans, cannot make their own food; they get nutrition from what they eat. In this The human circulatory system unit, pupils will build on this knowledge to recognise ways in which nutrients and water are transported within animals including humans

This unit explores the human circulatory system, identifying the heart, blood vessels, and blood functions. It examines how diet, exercise, drugs, and lifestyle affect body function and details nutrient and water transport in animals. Emphasis is on data recording and presenting findings.

How should scientific information be presented?

Scientific information should always be presented as a report.

Scientific information should always be presented as graphs, tables and charts.

Scientific information could be presented in different ways.

Presenting information by talking about it is called a {{}} presentation.

A pictorial presentation is when information is shared using ...

a voice-over for a TV programme or a live question and answer session

Match the ways information on the human circulatory system can be presented with their examples.

A {{}} can be used to present scientific information that cannot be experienced directly.

What type of plan gives you an opportunity to find ways of improving your work?

What system in the human body consists of the heart, blood vessels and blood working together?

Which of these does blood deliver to all parts of the body?

Which of these does blood transport to the lungs to be removed from the body?

Most arteries transport oxygen rich blood from the heart to every body part.

Most veins transport carbon dioxide in blood back to the heart.

Blood carries carbon dioxide to the lungs to be exhaled.

Starting with 'blood collects oxygen from the lungs', put these processes in the correct order as part of the human circulatory system.
