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...

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...

Students 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. 

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

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,...

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...

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...

In this science worksheet, students calculate the size of different samples using the microscope as part of a formal lab assignment.

Young scholars label parts of the human respiratory system on a diagram. They explain the function of diaphragm.

In this respiratory system activity, 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...

In this respiratory system learning exercise, students review how the air passageways and lungs transport oxygen through the respiratory system. Students also review the mechanics of breathing. This learning exercise has 6 multiple...

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...

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...

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...

Sixth graders analyze the components of the respiratory system. In this respiratory system instructional activity, 6th graders participate in hands on experiments and activities to identify the functions of the major organs of the...

Learners 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...

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...

Here is an interesting and engaging instructional activity 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 this mammals worksheet, students read about 3 mammal characteristics: endotherm, diaphragm, and mammary glands. Students use this information to complete 4 short answer questions.

For this respiration worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle by figuring out the vocabulary words associated with the 16 clues given.

Students analyze the function of the lungs. In this instructional activity 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...

Students explore vocal anatomy. In this biology/music lesson, students first learn vocabulary associated with the voice and body. They then use straws, microphones and recorders to differentiate between high and low pitches 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.

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