Can your pupils name all three types of blood vessel? This 14-page knowledge organiser and card activity packet covers the circulatory system from the heart to healthy living.

The packet covers the circulatory system and its components, the heart’s function, blood vessels including arteries, veins and capillaries, oxygenated versus deoxygenated blood flow, and the composition of blood, including plasma, red and white blood cells, and platelets. Question and answer cards ask pupils to define the circulatory system, describe the path blood takes to pick up oxygen, and list the benefits of regular exercise and the negative effects of drugs and alcohol on health.
