Code: S9LT-lc-27
To the Learners:

This Learning Activity Sheet (LAS) will serve as a guide to your basic skills in Science. This learning activity
will serve as your primary reference in terms of concepts and principles for you to perform various activities.
and assessment work stated herein.

This may not be enough of a source of information that will help you answer the tests, so hopefully you can
do more research online or online or conduct an interview with experts and industry experts in your
community.

The challenges you need to take on this task will give you opportunities to express your creativity and
develop critical thinking skills. In addition, you have the opportunity to identify the questions / tests you
would like to explore in relation to the concepts and principles emphasized in the accompanying book.

As proof of the study, you are required to create a project according to your ability and source as an
application of the concepts learned in the module. This project can be simple or complex but doing so
ensures your active participation in practical activities and collaboration with your classmates, siblings,
parents, neighbors and industry experts / experts in your community. Your teacher is always there to
support you on your learning journey especially in learning concepts and skills by doing a home-based
project.

Good luck and stay safe!

Background
information The circulatory and respiratory systems interact in a complex manner in order to
for perform their physiological functions. Only by working together can they keep the
Learners:
body functioning properly.

Harmful substances, like cigarette smoke can lead to unhealthy circulatory and
respiratory systems. By maintain a healthy lifestyle, the diseases associated with these
 systems can be avoided.
