The circulatory system, the human body's river of life, is made up of the heart, blood and blood vessels. By examining these components individually, students are given an in-depth look at how three different types of tissue work together to keep cells alive throughout the body. Some of the diseases and disorders of the circulatory system are described. Current and future medical technology for preventing and treating problems related to the circulatory system are presented as well.

Science Up to Standards is loaded with activities based on the guidelines defined by the National Science Education Standards. The format follows closely those standards which encourage teachers to provide students with activities requiringboth partial and full inquiries. In partial inquiry activities, students are given some instructions on how to approach the problem-solving issue. In full inquiry activities, students design their own strategies for finding answers. This great resourceprovides activities in seven content areas: Science as Inquiry, Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, Science and Technology, Science in Personal and Social Perspectives, and History and Nature of Science.
