    The document describes a model of the human respiratory system. Students are asked to label parts of the model including the chest cavity, diaphragm, lungs and trachea. They then manipulate the model by pulling down and pushing up on the diaphragm part to represent contraction and relaxation. This allows them to observe how the diaphragm's movement increases and decreases the chest cavity volume and pressure in the lungs, causing air to move in and out. Students also provide feedback on one feature of the model that worked well and one that could be improved.

    Modelling the Mechanism of Breathing

    1. Label the parts of the human gas exchange system represented by each part of the model below.
    Choose the answers from the box.

    chest cavity diaphragm lung trachea


    2. Pull down on the part of the model representing the diaphragm. This represents the diaphragm
    contracting. Then, push up on the part of the model representing the diaphragm. This represents the

    diaphragm relaxing.
    Use your observations to complete the sentences below. Choose the answers from the box. Some words will be
    used more than once.

    When the diaphragm contracts, the volume of the chest cavity .


    This decreases the increases intocausing air to move
    pressure inside the chest cavity, out of
    the lungs.

    When the diaphragm relaxes, the volume of the chest cavity .


    This the pressure inside the chest cavity, causing air to move
    the lungs.

    3. Identify one feature of your model that worked well and one thing that could be improved. One thing

    that went well:
