Teach Engineering: Dinosaur Breath
Through discussion and hands-on experimentation, students learn about the geological (ancient) carbon cycle. They investigate the role of dinosaurs in the carbon cycle and the eventual storage of carbon in the form of chalk. Students...
Bio Topics
Bio Topics: Photosynthesis
This site details the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of the production of oxygen by plants and carbon dioxide by animals, both of which are needed for respiration purposes.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Photosynthesis and Respiration
Students use the gas sensors to measure the amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide consumed or produced by a plant during respiration and photosynthesis. They also determine the rate of respiration and photosynthesis in a plant.
Museum of Science
Museum of Science and Industry: Online Science: Activities: What Goes Around
An activity where students take on the roles of parts of the circulatory system, and simulate the transport of nutrients, oxygen, and carbon dioxide through the blood stream.
McGraw Hill
Online Learning Center: Respiration
This is a very detailed site on breathing/respiration. It covers system organization, mechanics, exchange of gases, and oxygen transport. A very thorough site.

Science Buddies: How Does a Chick Breathe Inside Its Shell?
Whether a chick can breathe inside its shell is an interesting question. Every animal needs oxygen to survive, so the chick must get air somehow. Try this science project to discover if the pores in a chicken egg shell allow water to...
TeachEngineering
Teach Engineering: Moebius Strips
In this activity, students make Moebius strips and use them to demonstrate the interconnectedness of an environment. They will explore the natural cycles (water, oxygen/carbon dioxide, carbon, nitrogen) within the environment.
