Every moment, the systems in your body are working together to keep you breathing, standing, and thinking. Elementary schoolers explore the human body and its systems with an impressive, 15-page lesson plan that should leave your...

Students determine the amount of air they use during rest and activity. They conduct experiments to calculate the number of breaths needed to empty a jug of water by exhaling through a tube into the container. Then, they figure how much...

Young scholars investigate the concepts of volume for rectangular prisms and spheres. They measure the volume of one balloon and then consider how many breaths it would take to fill the room with balloons. The rectangular prism being...

Pupils discover how air can move things by using their breath. In this physics lesson, students hypothesize then attempt to move a pencil 1 meter using nothing but their breath. Pupils record data from their experiment including...

Young scholars 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...

Students develop number sense up to a million.  In this developing number sense up to a million lesson, students count their breaths in given time span.  Students use blocks representing 10's and 100's to create a...

Students study the Oneida song "Touch the Wind". They discuss the meaning and sentiment of the piece. Students use important singing techniques including good breathing, dynamics, and pitch. Students illustrate of the meaning of the song.
