    This document describes an activity where students construct a model of the lungs using a plastic bottle, balloons, straws, and rubber bands. The objectives are to explain how the lungs work and describe how the diaphragm helps air go in and out. Students will pull down the large balloon representing the diaphragm to blow up the small balloons representing the lungs, and push up the large balloon to let air out of the small balloons. They are to observe and answer questions about what each part represents and how the model works.

    ACTIVITY 2

    Bottled Balloons

    Objectives:

     Explain how the lungs work.


     Describe how the movement of the diaphragm helps the air go in and out of the lungs.

    Materials:

    1 two-liter or 1.5 liter empty plastic bottle (coke) 1 sturdy straw 1 pair of scissors

    3 balloons (1 big, 2 small) 5 rubber bands

    Procedure:

    1. Using a pair of scissors, cut the bottom out of the 2-liter or 1.5 plastic bottle.
    2. Create two holes that are apart from each other in the cap of the plastic bottle. Make sure
    that each hole is just big enough for a straw to fit through.
    3. Stick the two straws through the two holes of the bottle cap.
    4. Place one balloon on the end of each straw, and secure them with rubber bands, as shown in
    the figure below.

    5. Stick the balloon ends of the straws through the bottle opening and screw the lid on tightly.
    6. Stretch out the larger balloon and place it over the open bottom of the bottle. Secure it with
    the rubber band as tightly as possible. Refer to the diagram of the finished lung model below.

    7. Pull the larger balloon down; that is away from the bottle, in order to blow up the two small
    balloons.
    8. Push the larger balloon towards the bottle in order to let the air out of the two small
    balloons.
    9. Write down your observations.

    Guide Questions:

    1. What does each part of the constructed lung model represent?
