This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.

In this activity (on page 142 of the PDF), learners will compare breathing rates before and after hyperventilation to explore how reduced carbon dioxide levels in the blood lower the need to breathe.

In this activity, learners work in teams to construct human lung models from small plastic beverage bottles and balloons.

In this activity, learners try to blow up a balloon hanging inside of an empty bottle.

By building a model of a lung and diaphragm, learners discover the function of various parts of the body's respiratory system.

In this activity, learners act out the flow of blood in the human body! A great way to get learners up and moving while learning about the circulatory system.
