Measuring Lung Capacity • Can you think of a way that we could measure the amount of air our lungs can hold?
Measuring Lung Capacity • Materials: • Sharpie Marker • Balloons • Measuring Tape • Procedure: Take turns with your partner! One person completes the activity, the other records, and then you switch!
Measuring Lung Capacity • Exhale normally. • When you are done, blow into your balloon and force out any remaining air to blow up the balloon. YOU ONLY GET ONE BREATH! • HOLD THE BALLOON BUT DO NOT TIE IT!!! • Have your partner draw a line with the Sharpie around the largest part of the balloon • Record the measurement in centimeters in your chart. • Repeat this step 4 more times. • Average your result.
