Human Anatomy- How Do We Move?
Students explore the human anatomy. In this respiratory system lesson plan, students conduct an experiment to simulate the capacity of human lungs.
Curated OER
Gas Exchange
In this biology learning exercise, students examine the process of respiration and specifically look at the biochemistry of gas exchange at the alveoli.
