In this lesson, students will achieve learning outcomes aligned with, ‘A1. STEM Investigation and Communication Skills’ and will be able to describe the basic function and structure of the respiratory system and its vital organs. Students will use an engineering design process to create a lung model to observe how the diaphragm facilitates inhalation and exhalation. The lesson ends with a guided inquiry and discussion, where students are provided with a worksheet to label diagrams and draw parallels between their models and the actual respiratory system.
