A tissue is a group of connected cells that have a similar function within an organism. The simplest living, multicellular organisms, sponges, are made of many specialized types of cells that work together for a common goal. Such cell types include digestive cells, tubular pore cells, and epidermal cells. Though the different cell types create a large organized, multicellular structure—the visible sponge—they are not organized into true tissues. If a sponge is broken up by passing it through a sieve, the sponge will reform on the other side.

CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is a way to help a person who has stopped breathing, and whose heart may have stopped beating, to stay alive. "Cardio" is about the heart and "pulmonary" is about the lungs. "Resuscitation" means "revive."

Students create pinhole cameras to understand that light travels in a straight path. They describe the lines and shapes in a 19th-century photograph of a building and then use their pinhole cameras to trace the architecture of their school building.

Connective tissue is found between other tissue types and organs. It contains high quantities of water, several types of cells, and a fibrous extracellular matrix. The connective tissue of an organ is usually referred to as the stroma. This tissue type can have very different structures according to the proportions of its components. Specialized forms includes bone, cartilage, fat, and even blood.

The Canadian Red Cross is a leading provider of first aid and CPR programs and has been offering first aid and CPR training to Canadians for over 50 years. We also teach Canadians practical first aid tips and offer a free first aid app.

If you saw someone in need of first aid would you know what to do? Comedian and Red Cross First Aid Instructor Adam Growe has taken to the streets where he is testing Canadians’ first aid know how. Follow along while Adam invites passersby to participate in challenges to learn about allergic reactions, bleeding, choking, needing CPR, mental health emergencies, and more.

Find a list of supplies and medicines to include in a first aid kit. It is recommended that there be an equipped first aid kit in the house and in the car.

In this lesson, students will learn about the cells and investigate functions and processes of plant and
animal cells. Students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the basic structures and
functions or organelles within plant and animal cells and their processes.

All Canadian Red Cross courses meet strict guidelines for content and delivery. Each province and territory of Canada interprets workplace health and safety regulations differently. In addition, there are regulations which apply to Federal government and other national organizations.

In this hands on activity find out just how much of an iceberg is below the surface. It might surprise you!

Explore the body and learn about the immune system, circulatory system, respiratory system and how all of the components of the body work together.

This is one of the best K-12 Science resources available!
Resources are available for Grades Pre-school-12 including multiple articles and videos available for students to explore the many science concepts being learned in the classroom.

The traditional medicine wheel, symbolizing balance and interconnection, can serve as a framework for improving the mental well-being of First Nations people in Manitoba.

That’s the key recommendation from a mental-health study conducted by eight First Nations communities in partnership with the First Nations Health and Social Secretariat of Manitoba (FNHSSM) and researchers from the University of Manitoba.

Your nervous system plays a role in everything you do. The three main parts of your nervous system are your brain, spinal cord and nerves. It helps you move, think and feel. It even regulates the things you do but don’t think about like digestion. It contains the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.

Generation Genius is a K-8 teaching resource that brings school science standards to life through fun and educational videos paired with lesson plans, activities, quizzes, reading material and more. Our videos are produced in partnership with the National Science Teaching Association, and aligned to standards in all 50 states.

Researchers cultivated mould from frozen samples of Fleming's original fungus
They then compared its genome with those of modern strains used industrially
These US versions make penicillin slightly differently to Flemings' wild UK strain
The findings could suggest new routes to improve the production of the drug
Antibiotics like penicillin are used to treat assorted bacteria-derived infections
