Measuring Lung Capacity
Sixth graders explore measuring lung capacity. In this respiratory system lesson, 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...
Curated OER
How Big is a Breath?
Students demonstrate how to use math skills to measure their lung capacity. In this human biology lesson, students use a clear plastic container, measuring cup and rubber balloons to demonstrate how the lungs work. Students estimate the...

Balloon Lungs
Students study the function of lungs. For this lung function lesson, 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...
Curated OER
Lung Limit
Students determine their lung capacity by completing a science experiment with a bottle of water. For this lung science lesson, students discuss the lungs' purpose. Students complete an experiment to determine their lung capacity using a...

Biology: Lung Capacity
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....
Curated OER
Peak Flow Meter Exercise
Students investigate the concept of lung capacity. They use flow meters to measure the maximum capacity of themselves and others. The data is collected in order to make some conclusions concerning the mean of individual lung capacity....
