| Finding Lung Capacity |
Today we participated in a science fair activity at Richman Elementary in Fullerton School District. Our group taught students how to measure their lung capacity and how being healthy is important for our lungs. We first taught students about the organs in the respiratory system and how air gets to the lungs. Next, we did an experiment in which students could measure their lung capacity. Students blew a bubble on a trash bag and then let it pop. Then they measured the diameter of the popped bubble. When put into a conversion chart, this measurement tells students their lung capacity. Finally, students learned how being healthy benefits their lungs. Students saw the difference between a healthy lung and a smoker's lung. They learned that exercising can increase their lung capacity.
