Catch Your Breath: A Study of the Respiratory SystemGrade Level: 4th Grade
Written by: Barbara Elliott, Wheatley Elementary, Lubbock, Texas
Length of Unit: 5 Lessons
I. ABSTRACTStudents will be provided opportunities to understand the functions of the respiratory
system and the components such as the voice box, trachea, bronchial tubes, diaphragm,
and alveoli. With a multi-intelligence approach students will select a competency that
best depicts their individual strength to express their understanding. Students will
develop an awareness of the hazards of tobacco and tobacco products. An opportunity
will also be provided for students to experience a virtual tour to reinforce understanding.

D. Procedures/Activities
1. Tell the students that they will be studying the respiratory system.
2. Explain that this is just one of the several systems in the body that make up our whole
body.
3. Remind the students that in third grade they learned about the skeletal and muscular
systems.
4. Ask students if they can name any other systems. Some answers might be thecirculatory system, the digestive system, the excretory system or the nervous system.
5. Explain to the students that they will be creating a KWL chart to see what priorknowledge they have about the respiratory system.
6. Demonstrate the formation of a KWL chart by setting up the class KWL chart.
7. Pass out the KWL charts, Appendix 1-A
8. Have each student share one concept they know and one question they have about the
respiratory system.9. Tell students that a person inhales and exhales fifteen times a minute, approximately
20,000 times a day.
10. Tell students that breathing in, and then out counts as one breathe.
11. Tell students that they breathe in about a pint (one-half liter), but when they run for a
bus their rate can almost double and they breathe more deeply and take in five timesas much air. Show a pint and liter container as well as five pints and five liters.
12. Tell students that in 24 hours they breathe in nearly 2,200 galloons (10,000) liters of
air- enough to fill 30,000 coke cans.
13. Tell students that they breathe in a third of that at night because their body is at rest.
14. Tell students that adult lungs hold nearly six quarts of air. Show them six quarts. Tell
them it would take about three days to drink this amount of liquid.
15. Pass out lung shapes with vocabulary words, Appendix 1-B
16. Have a class discussion about the definitions and decide if a word has a multiple
meaning which definition applies to the discussion.
17. Using dictionaries, students will put the guidewords and the part of speech on the side
of the vocabulary word and write the definition of the other side of the shape.
18. Students will match up the vocabulary word with its definition.19. Collect vocabulary words and definitions from students and place in individual bag.
20. Pass out a balloon to each student.
21.Ask students how much air they think they have in their lungs? Have them take a deep
breath and blow into the balloons until they run out of air holding the balloon
afterwards as to not let the air out.
22. Ask them how big is the balloon? Tell them it contains about half the air in their
lungs.
23. Blow up your balloon again. Let the air out. Explain to students that the balloon
vibrates, making a loud noise and when air from their lungs passes over vocal cords in
their throat, the cords vibrate, making sounds.
24. Have students to blow air through their lips. What happens?
E. Assessment/Evaluation
1. Teacher observation
2. Check for understanding through completion of vocabulary words

5. Use Appendix 2-C as a transparency and complete it with the components of therespiratory system.
6. Pass out lung shapes with vocabulary words, Appendix 2-D.7. Have a class discussion about the definitions and decide if a word has a multiple
meaning which definition applies to the discussion.
8. Using dictionaries, students will put the guidewords and the part of speech on theside of the vocabulary word and write the definition on the other side of the shape.
9. Students will match up the vocabulary word with its definition.10.Collect vocabulary words and definitions from students and place in individual bag.11.Show the model of the lung and talk about the different parts.12.Explain to the students that there are 350 million alveoli in each lung. That is the
same size as a tennis court area packed into the volume of the chest.
13.Show the students how the inside of their lungs resembles three upside-down trees.14.Show the students how one tree in the airway and the trachea branches into smaller
bronchi, which divide into bronchioles.
15.Show the students how another tree is the pulmonary artery that brings unfilteredblood from the heart, and divides to form the pulmonary arterioles.
16.Show the students that the last tree is a network of pulmonary veins that take filteredblood back to the heart.
17.Tell students that adult lungs weigh about two pounds or one kilogram.18.Show them two pounds on the scales.19.Tell students that healthy lungs are bright pink and spongy to the touch.20.Wet the two large sponges and let students touch them.
21.Explain to students that breathed in air travels to the lungs by being treated inside thenose first. Nasal hairs and sticky mucus trap dust and other particles.
22.Tell students that breathing takes 3% of the bodys energy and other activities canaccount for the other 97%.
E. Assessment/Evaluation1. Divide the class into groups and have them brainstorm a list of body
functions and muscular activities. Analyze the list and predict how much of
the bodys energy is used for each activity. Do all body functions and
muscular activities use the same amount of the bodys energy? Tell students
to think about this question as they complete their T-chart. Compare the listwith the other groups.
2. Make project assignments. Each student selects from one of the following
activities that is to be presented orally to the class on the last day.
a. Design and label an illustration that compares the area of the lungs air
sacs to that of a tennis court.b. Some living creatures take in oxygen without the use of lungs. Research a
creature such as a fish, an earthworm, or an octopus and write an explanation
of its respiratory process.c. Research pneumonia. Create and perform a short skit to educate people about
the cause, symptoms, and treatment of the disease.
