TACtivity
Plant Transportation - Xylem

How does water climb about 100 Meters to reach the leaves of the
Redwoods? This TACtivity models the transportation in a plant.
Where are gases exchanged?

• Air moves through the trachea ,


a thick tube that leads into smaller
and smaller tubes, ending with the
bronchi.

• The bronchi lead to air sacs


called alveoli. The alveoli are
surrounded by tiny blood vessels,
capillaries

• In the alveoli, oxygen from the air


goes into the blood in the
capillaries. Carbon dioxide leaves
the blood and enters the alveoli.
Carbon dioxide is exhaled.

Science Notebooking
● The respiratory system has many structures with specific jobs.
● The respiratory system is made of parts that help us breathe.
● The respiratory system includes the nose, trachea, bronchi, lungs, alveoli, and
diaphragm.
● The main part of the respiratory system is located in our chest and is connected
by our nose to the outside.
● Air flows in and out of the lungs and moves from areas of high pressure to areas
of low pressure.
Put these words in order to show how oxygen gets into your blood

Study of the circulatory system by investigating the structure and function of the heart.
Your circulatory system is a “delivery system.”
Red blood cells travel in the blood, bringing
things to and from your body cells.

• The main organ of the system is the heart. The heart is a


muscular organ that constantly pumps blood throughout the
body.

• Blood vessels called arteries carry blood away from your


heart. Blood in an artery brings oxygen and food to body
cells.

• Arteries lead to capillaries, the thinnest blood vessels. Here


oxygen and food pass into body cells. The body cells release
wastes, such as carbon dioxide, into the blood.

• The capillaries now lead to the veins. A vein is a blood


vessel that carries blood back to the heart.
• Veins bring blood into an upper
“chamber” of the heart called an atrium.

• From an atrium, blood flows through a


valve to a lower “chamber,” called a ventricle

• Blood is pumped out of the ventricle


through an artery.
