Study Notes
Activity 1: To show that exhaled air contains more carbon dioxide
- The procedure involves two glasses, each covered with a cardboard
- Pour limewater into each glass
- Place a straw into each glass and gently blow air through the straw into the glass, labeled A
- Gently blow air into glass labeled B. Observe changes in each case
- The limewater in glass B will turn milky
- The limewater in glass A will show no changes
- Conclusion: Exhaled air contains more carbon dioxide than inhaled air.
Activity 2: To demonstrate the breathing process
- Materials required: A wide plastic bottle, a cork, a Y-shaped glass tube, 2 balloons, a rubber sheet and wax
- Procedure: Remove the bottom of a wide plastic bottle, make a hole in the cork and insert a Y-shaped glass tube, fix two deflated balloons in the two free ends of the tube; now insert the cork in the mouth of the bottle. Attach a rubber sheet of rubber over the opening of the bottle and seal the cork with wax.
- Working: Gently pull the rubber sheet down and observe the change in the balloons gradually. Gently release the rubber sheet and observe what happens.
- Balloons are equivalent to lungs
- Rubber sheet is equivalent to diaphragm
- Plastic bottle represents rib cage
- Effect when rubber sheet is pulled down: Deflated balloons become re-inflated
- Effect when rubber sheet is released: Balloons gradually decrease in size.
Activity 3: To measure the chest cavity during breathing
- Materials required: Measuring tape, a pen and a piece of paper
- Procedure: Ask a friend to take a deep breath, then measure chest circumference using the measuring tape. Ask another friend to repeat and record observations. Note any variations if observed.
