In this experiment, students will dissect a flower and a fruit and consider the differences. This resource is part of the Biology Links for One Laptop Per Child course which contains units on Exploring Life; The Cell; Genetics; Mechanisms of Evolution; The Evolutionary History of Biological Diversity; Plant Form and Function; Animal Form and Function; Ecology; and Astrobiology.

This video is a continuation of the Red Blood Cell video and discusses the circulatory system and the heart.

Animation: identify parts of the cardiovascular system and examine blood flow. Be sure to click heart (it beats) for an enlarged view of the heart with greater details.

This is a SMARTboard lesson for 4th graders learning the parts of a flower.

This PPT is to help teach the different parts of the heart.

Students will complete an in-depth study of plants by examining their stems, roots, and leaves. A study of animals will also be completed. Animals will be grouped according to their major characteristics. Special emphasis will be placed on observing, classifying, collecting data, and predicting. Integrated hands-on math activities are also included in this kit. This collection is available as downloadable PDFs, but portions of the content are found in wiki format (see WIKI Learning Experiences and Resources) which can be edited or built up with other materials on the same topic by members of the Curriki community.
