Take a deep breath!

We are starting a two week unit on the respiratory system. Today we brainstormed what we know, think we know and want to know about the respiratory system. We also compared the lung capacity of two students and started our first engineering challenge of the year.

Tomorrow you will build a model of a lung. You can certainly do research before coming to class to learn more about how the lungs work.You will have rubber bands, tape, plastic bottles, straws, balloons, plastic bags, modeling clay and paper to make your model. You can not breathe into the model to inflate the lungs.
