The Cardiovascular System Interactive Simulation is an interactive simulation activity for high school Anatomy & Physiology (grades 9–12) on The Cardiovascular System.

Pairs with: The Cardiovascular System Slide Show Presentation; The Cardiovascular System Guided Notes; The Cardiovascular System Lesson Quiz; The Cardiovascular System Unit Test.

Sections: Interactive Simulation - The Cardiovascular System; Instructions; Driving Question; Objective; Background; Materials; Simulation Protocol; Supplementary Material. Sample item: “How does physical activity affect heart rate and how quickly the heart rate returns to normal afterward?”

What's inside: Interactive Simulation (editable .docx + PDF, about 804 words, 5 pages).

Standards: HS-LS1-2 — Develop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting systems that provide specific functions within multicellular organisms. HS-LS1-3 — Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that feedback mechanisms maintain homeostasis.

Resource type: Interactive Simulation. Format: editable Microsoft Word file plus a ready-to-print PDF.

Classroom use: Students work through the simulation to model the chapter concepts hands-on. Built for high school Anatomy & Physiology, grades 9–12.
