The Breathing System

THE BOTTLED BALLOON ACTIVITY


Let’s Recall
Identify the Parts of the breathing system based on their function.
1. The exchange of gases occur in this part.
2. A hollow tube that serves as passageway of air into the lungs.
3. It serves as channel for airflow in which the air is warmed, cleaned, and
moistened.
4. Hairlike tubes that connect to the alveoli that serves as passageway of air.
5. Two branching tubes that connect the trachea to the lungs.
6. The air enters and being filtered by the tiny hairs called cilia.

• The air we breathe goes through the , nose
Nasal, cavity
and then through the ortrachea
windpipe,
which separates into two branches, called
bronchimany times inside the
. The bronchi subdivide
lungs and finally becoming hair-like tubes called

bronchioles are tiny bubble-like bunch of structures
bronchioles
called or airsacs.

Bottled Balloon
Objectives:
1. Explain how the lungs work.
2. Describe how the movement of the diaphragm helps the air go in
and out of the lungs .

Materials:
1 two-liter empty plastic bottle
3 balloons (1 big, 2 small),
2 sturdy straw
1 pair of scissors
5 rubber Bands.
• A constructed model of the human chest cavity
Procedure:
1. Using a pair of scissors, cut the bottom out of the 2-liter
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.
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.
Procedure:
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:

Q4. What does each part of the constructed


lung model represent?
(bottle, straw, small balloons, big balloon)
Q5. What happens as you pull down the balloon at
the bottom of the model?
Q6. What happens as you push up the balloon?
Q7. How does the movement of the diaphragm
cause the air to go in and out of the lungs?
Q8. What might happen if you prick the balloon
Answer
• Q4. What does each part of the constructed
lung model represent?
• (bottle, straw, small balloons, big balloon)

•. plastic bottle = chest cavity


• Two straws = bronchi
• Two balloons = lungs
• Larger balloon = diaphragm
Guide Questions:

Q5. What happens as you pull down the


balloon at the bottom of the model?

The two balloons expand


Guide Questions:

Q6. What happens as you push up the balloon?

The two balloons loosen up and return to their


original size
Guide Questions:

Q7. How does the movement of the diaphragm


cause the air to go in and out of the lungs?
The movement of the diaphragm affects the air
pressure inside the chest cavity by either
decreasing or increasing the space, thus allowing
air to go in and out of the lungs.
Guide Questions:

Q8. What might happen if you prick the


balloon?

If one of the balloons is pricked, it will not


inflate anymore because the air will
escape.
Have you experienced being in a jam-packed
train?

How can you relate this to the process that


makes air move in and out of the lungs.
How does the movement of the diaphragm
cause the air to go in and out of the lungs?
