    Activity No.1 - Bottled Balloons

    Uploaded by

    The document describes an activity using a plastic bottle, straws, and balloons to model how lungs work. Students cut the bottom off a plastic bottle and insert two straws with balloons attached through holes in the bottle cap. They then stretch a larger balloon over the open bottom of the bottle. Pulling down on the large balloon causes the smaller balloons to inflate, representing inhalation. Pushing up the large balloon causes the smaller balloons to deflate, representing exhalation. This models how the diaphragm's movement causes air to enter and leave the lungs.

    Bottled Balloons
    GROUP NO.: Date submitted: Score:

    Name: Section:

    I. 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.
    II. MATERIALS:
    1 two-liter empty plastic bottle 2 sturdy straws 1 pair of scissors
    3 balloons (1 big, 2 small) 5 rubber bands
    III. 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, as shown in the figure below.

    Figure 1: The two straws with the balloons are inserted into the plastic bottle cap.
    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.
    IV. GUIDE QUESTIONS:
    Q1. What does each part of the constructed lung model represent?

    Q2. What happens as you pull down the balloon at the bottom of the model?

    Q3. What happens as you push up the balloon?

    Q4. How does the movement of the diaphragm cause the air to go in and out of the lungs?

    Q5. What might happen if you prick the balloon?

    V. CONCLUSION:
