Sixth graders explore measuring lung capacity. In this respiratory system lesson plan, 6th graders conduct an experiment on their fellow class mates that measures how much air capacity their lungs have. Students record and graph the data collected.
Students explore one's lung capacity, the human body, displacing volume of water with volume of air and spirometer use. Using simple math, students figure out their lung capacity by breathing into a bottle filled with water and measuring the volume of water displaced.
Learners study how lungs and a diaphragm work to make them breathe. In this pollution lesson students build a lung model and learn three things they can do to protect themselves from the effects of fossil fuels.
Sixth graders understand the importance of their lungs and ability to breathe well. For this effects of smoking lesson, 6th graders have parents complete an experiment and record whether or not they are a smoker and the size of a balloon they can blow up. Students input this information into a spreadsheet program and analyze it using median, mean, and mode.
In this lung capacity worksheet, learners use straws, funneling, liquids, tubing, and more to test their lung capacity. Students follow 14 sets of directions and analyze their data.
Students create a spirometer to measure how much air lungs can hold. In this lung capacity lesson, students blow air through a student made spirometer to raise the water level and thus measure lung capacity.
Students explore tobacco smoking and the impact it has on society. In this health lesson students complete several experiments on smoking and lung cancer.
Students investigate the negative effects of smoking on the lungs. They discuss the function of the lungs, identify the various damaging effects of smoking, and conduct a demonstration of how difficult it is to breathe if their lungs fill with tar by breathing through a straw while holding their nose.
Students complete various activities to find and compare relative lung capacity, calculate how many breaths they take in their lifetime, and estimate how much additional oxygen they need when exercising. They use their results to discuss adequate
Students create a model of the lungs and diaphragm. In this breathing lesson, students create a model out of a plastic bottle and balloons. They see how the diaphragm helps to fill the lungs with air.
