Making 'lungs'

We've been learning about body systems over the last few weeks and we had a go at replicating a little how the lungs operate.

After learning about the components of the respiratory system, how it operates and what it does, students had their own hands on activity to complete.

Using a few plastic bottles and some balloons we were able to create our own 'lungs' in class.

While some groups had success, we quickly learned that the thin plastic made it difficult to successfully complete the activity. Something to reflect on and think about for next time. Either way it didn't stop us exploring the respiratory system in a different way.
