    Build a model lung

    Make a model lung you can inflate and deflate.

    What you need


    • 2 litre plastic bottle • Straws • Scissors • Quality tape • 3 large balloons • Plasticine/Blue Tac • Elastic bands

    1. Cut the bottom off the 2 litre bottle, make


    the cut a smooth as possible. 3. Add a balloon to each end of the Y-shaped
    connector. Secure in place with tape or 5. Create an airtight seal around the straw and
    bottle using tape. Alternatively, drill a hole
    elastic bands.. in bottle top to thread straw through and
    seal with plasticine/Blu Tac.

    6. Tie a knot at the end of remaining balloon,


    cut balloon in half across largest part. Stretch
    2. Create a Y shaped connector.
    Cut one straw open (1cm from the end) and 4. Place the balloon and straw connector
    structure inside the plastic bottle. Carefully
    the balloon, with knot on outside, across
    bottom of bottle opening. Tape in place.
    fold it out to create two small legs to make a thread the long straw portion through the .
    Y. Cut 8cm off the 2nd straw, gently fold in neck of the bottle.
    half and cut out a 2cm diamond shape (fold
    is in the middle). Place Y of straw 1 over the
    diamond shaped hole in straw 2 and tape it
    in place. Make the seal airtight.
    USE
    Gently pull down on the balloon using the knot. This should cause air to be drawn into the lungs (balloons within your
    model). Release the knot and watch as the air is expelled (balloons deflate).

    The Science
    The respiratory system supplies the body with the vital oxygen that the body’s organ needs. When we breathe we take in air through our nose and mouth, and
    this is passes via the larynx to the windpipe (trachea). The tube is split into two smaller branches, the bronchi, which goes into the lungs and divides again and
    again (bronchioles). The bronchioles have air filled sacs called alveoli which are surrounded by tiny capillaries carrying blood. Oxygen diffuses across the alveoli
    membrane through the capillary wall into the blood to be captured by red blood cells and distributed to our organs.
    When we breathe in (inhalation) the sheet of muscles (diaphragm) contract pulling the air into the lungs, and when we breathe out (exhalation) the diaphragm
    relaxes allowing the lungs to deflate.

    Structure of the system

    Chest cavity = plastic bottle


    Windpipe = straw
    Bronchi = Y shaped connector WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I PULL DOWN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I RELEASE THE
    Lung = balloon inside bottle ON THE BALLOON? BALLOON?

    Diaphragm = balloon over Inhalation: The volume of the bottle (chest cavity) Exhalation: The volume of the bottle (chest cavity)
    bottom of bottle increases which lowers the pressure in the lungs. Lower decreases, forcing air out of the lungs. The lungs
    pressure causes air to be drawn into the lungs and the (balloons) contract, returning to their original size.
    lungs (balloons) expand as they fill with air.
