Trachea Teacher Resources

The oxygen needed by our bodies to burn during respiration of glucose is obtained by ventilation. The anatomical structures involved in gaseous exchange are drawn and labeled. The explanations are excellent for a review, or for a student...

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...

When at rest, humans exhale about 17.5 ml of water per hour, but they lose about four times that amount during exercise. The video shows learners how worms, insects, fish and humans all respire very differently. Viewers then explore the...

Respiratory systems are different in worms, fish, and human lungs, and each are explained by Paul Andersen with his fabulous SMART Board. How are these respiratory systems similar? Keeping breathing surfaces moist is essential in all...

Intersperse your viewing of this video with questions that are shown on the screen. Keep your learners engaged by having them take notes and answer the questions. Parts of the respiratory system are shown with pictures and animation...

Diagrams and video footage of people help show the structures and functions of the respiratory system. Exercise is highlighted, making this an accessible video for a health class.

Young scholars study the parts of the human respiratory system while examining the gas exchange that takes place in the lungs. They make a model lung. They look at how the respiratory system is affected by spaceflight.

Students explore asthma.  In this respiratory system and asthma lesson, students identify the body parts related to the respiratory system and explain each part's function. Students construct a 3-D replica 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...

For this respiratory system worksheet, students review how the air passageways and lungs transport oxygen through the respiratory system. Students also review the mechanics of breathing. This worksheet has 6 multiple choice and 6 true or...

In this respiratory system worksheet, students label the parts of the respiratory system shown in the given diagram. Then they write the name of the structure described on the line. Students also determine the difference between inhale...

For this respiration worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle by figuring out the vocabulary words associated with the 14 clues given.

With the thousands of tasks our brain consciously performs on a daily basis, it's amazing that breathing isn't one of them. Learn how human bodies are able to automatically control the exchange of gas that keeps us alive...

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

In this biology worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms pertaining to respiration. There are 12 biology terms located in the word search.

For this biology worksheet, 9th graders identify and locate various vocabulary terms pertaining to ninth grade biology. There are 48 biology terms located in the word search.

In this labeling the respiratory system worksheet, students observe an illustration of the respiratory system and label the heart, ribs, trachea, bronchioles, diaphragm, lung, and bronchus. Students write seven names.

Students explore the parts of the respiratory system in this six lessons unit. The lessons presnt the concepts of the breathing, the function of oxygen in the system, how sounds are made, and the effects of pollution, smoking and disease...

In this biofax interactive quiz, students choose the best answer from the drop down menu box. Students answer questions that relate to the respiratory system.

Students construct an 'edible' map of the respiratory system using different foods. They follow along with the teacher and place foods on their map to symbolize the different parts (licorice to represent the trachea). They eat their maps.

The need for a respiratory system in humans versus being reliant on gas exchange structures is demonstrated. There are many details about the advantages and disadvantages of each mechanism.  Students are able to learn about the...

Explore structures within the realm of gas exchange in terrestrial and aquatic life.  The excellent, labelled diagrams and clear descriptions help your students view the different structures and adaptations that have...

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...
