8th Grade Circulatory System Review


Have fun with the links below. They will help you review the circulatory system, heart anatomy, blood components, function, and of course, blood types.


Remember, you are here to reinforce what you know, but have fun while doing so!


Put your headphones or earbuds in place before you begin. Many of these links have sound effects or narration.

For ABO drama, go to

For a launching page to several great activities and informational sites, go to
https://sites.google.com/a/jeffcoschools.us/mr-volk-s-science-website/science-content/circulatory-and-respiratory-systems/the-circulatory-system

  • The first link there: ABC Science, Virtual Heart Surgery is great. Try your hand at open-heart virtual surgery. 
  • The animation of a blood cell moving through the body is a quick review of the loops in the circulatory system, and is just cool. (Pulmonary and Systemic, remember?)
  • Circulatory System Review Games is a bit over your heads (try them if you like!), but visit the Basketball and Soccer Review Games. I still can't make a basket, but I haven't missed a goal!
  • The Science Rap video below the links is pretty good, too. See what you think.
If you just want to watch John have another heart attack go to:
and the cheesy artery goop can be seen at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEc-Rsv9pMc

Other videos we have seen in class can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHMmtqKgs50
I almost forgot; here is the link to the textbook quiz site. Every time you refresh the page, it will give you new questions about the Circulatory System.

OK? Enjoy and Learn!
