Teams will show their understanding of the human circulatory and respiratory systems focusing on the basic parts and what they do. This includes knowing the heart and blood vessels help move blood through the body, and that the lungs help us breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Students should understand that these two systems work together to help the body get the air and nutrients it needs to stay healthy and active.
