She had a terribly busy day converting oxygen into carbon dioxide; now she just needs a moment to breathe. In the activity, scholars review the function of the respiratory system and discuss bioengineering's role in medicine/health and...

Take a deep breath and have your class construct working models of a lung! Using 500ml plastic bottles as the chest cavity, and balloons for the lung and the diaphragm, learners work in groups to make a model. The models help them to...

Students investigate how pollution affects lung health. In this pollution and lung health lesson, students build lung models from a soda bottle and balloons, and then discuss how the emissions from fossil fuels can adversely affect lung...

Five questions are presented and answered as a means of delivering information on the respiratory system. Using red and blue game chips, physiology learners model the movement of blood through the lungs. Groups of learners time how long...

Learners 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. 

Explore the respiratory system with a model. First, pupils build a set of lungs to experiment how they inflate and deflate. Then, they delve deeper into the topic with a web quest to discover new information about the nose, trachea, and...

Students gain an understanding of the respiratory system. In this biology lesson plan, students demonstrate how air enters and leaves the lungs, and explore the relationship between breathing rate and exercise.

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. 

The procedure for constructing a working model of the respiratory system is revealed in this resource. A wonderful approach would be to have biology learners work in pairs to create a model and write the suggested paragraph explaining...

Students name the main components of the respiratory system. They write a reaction that contains complete sentences, and uses proper spelling and grammar, after viewing a video. Students define the following terms: lungs, respiration,...

Students examine breathing.  For this diaphragm lesson students complete a lab that shows them how lungs breathe.

In this body systems worksheet, students read information about the processes involved in the respiratory and urinary systems. Students then answer 1 short answer and 2 multiple choice questions.

Pupils know they need to breathe to live, but the details may not be too clear. A thorough instructional activity introduces them to the components of the respiratory system using a set of cards with pictures and descriptions.

Students study the function of lungs. In this lung function lesson plan, students complete an experiment using balloons to study the way lungs work. Students study a diagram of their lungs and make a hypothesis for their lung capacity...

For this breathing worksheet, students will review vocabulary words and topics relating to the lungs and the parts of the breathing system in humans. Students will explore how exercise effects the carbon dioxide that is exhaled. This...

Pupils study the respiratory system, the lungs and air.  In this respiratory lesson students describe technologies that engineers have found that improve the health of the respiratory system. 

Inhale, exhale, and rest easy when looking for a supportive tool for your activity on the respiratory system. Seven slides introduce the class to the function of the organs: lungs trachea, diaphragm, bronchial tubes, bronchioles, and...

Here is an interesting and engaging lesson on the lungs and the respiratory system. In it, fourth graders should gain a better understanding of how the lungs work and the role they play in supporting life. Some good, in-class partner...

Learners examine the human respiratory system through an interactive online activity. In this respiratory system instructional activity, learners label the various parts of the respiratory system by clicking and dragging the names to the...

Students explore the primary function of the respiratory system in multiple activities. In this respiratory system instructional activity, students build a model of the respiratory system to investigate how the lungs work.

Students analyze the function of the lungs. In this lesson about the Respiratory System, students explore breathing and the movement of air through the lungs. Students perform an 4 part experiment to observe what it might look like for...

Fifth graders become familiar with how the diaphragm expands to draw air into our lungs and contracts to exhale carbon dioxide. They also label the major parts of the respiratory system through the use of interactive Internet research...

In this respiratory system: breathing worksheet, students read through the given notes. Students then compare the different respiratory systems with that of an earthworm, fish, insect, and frog.

Students discover their magnificent breathing machine. In this science lesson plan, students learn the functions of the lungs in our bodies and become aware that in breathing an exchange of gases takes place in the lungs.
