Students take simple measurements of time for the breathing rate lesson and circumference in the lung capacity lesson. They make simple calculations for both experiments, which will lead to their determination of their both active and resting breathing rate and their everyday normal lung capacity. Full Review »

Students perform experiments to determine their lung capacity and respiration rate. After choosing and performing one of two methods to discover lung capacity, they measure their respiratory rates and assess conditions that affect them. Once they calculate the class average, they compare their own rate with it. Full Review »
