The heart and circulatory system sequence and fold science craft activity

Explore the human circulatory system stages with this fun foldout. During this hands-on activity, students will sequence 6 stages of circulation, starting with blood entering the right side of the heart. There are 3 similar templates to choose from so you can differentiate for your learners if required.

The templates

• Template 1: Color the red blood cell and pictures, sequence the stages of the circulatory system, glue, cut, and fold.
• Template 2: Color the red blood cell and pictures, add the labels to the pictures, glue, cut, and fold.
• Template 3: As above but with the left/right sides of the heart labeled.

For each template, there is a version of the labels that uses the vocabulary ‘oxygenated/deoxygenated’ and a version that uses ‘low-oxygen/high-oxygen’ to describe the blood. Choose the version with the language that best suits your learners.

The finished foldouts can be used as part of an interactive science notebook.

What else is included?

• 2x labeled heart posters (color and black and white) and a blank label the heart worksheet.
• Vocabulary cards. These can be displayed, or cut in half to use for a word/picture matching activity. You may choose not to use all of the words, depending on the needs of your students.
• Word definition worksheet (and answers).

The words on the vocabulary cards are heart, blood, circulatory system, artery, vein, capillaries, blood vessels, valve, and chambers.
