Introduction
This unit of study is meant to increase your
awareness of the human respiratory system, its
major parts, and the functions of these parts.
Upon successful completion of this unit, we
will move into study of the circulatory system
and explore how this system works alongside of
the respiratory system to promote human health
and well-being.
Your objective is…

In this activity, you will learn the parts of the human
respiratory system along with their corresponding
functions.
Overview:
Major Parts of the Respiratory System










Nasal Passage
Pharynx
Larynx
Trachea
Epiglottis
Bronchial Tubes
Bronchioles
Alveoli
Lungs
Diaphragm
Directions:
The following is a breakdown of individual and group work
you will complete during this unit of study:
 Individual Work:
 Group Work:

KWL chart regarding the
respiratory system.

Labeled diagram of human
respiratory system.

Manipulation of human body
model to properly place
respiratory system parts.

Answer teacher questions
regarding human respiratory
system.



Worksheet booklet identifying
parts of respiratory system and
related systems, along with
corresponding quiz.
Access interactive websites that
help in learning the parts of
the human respiratory system.
Construct a Word report or
PowerPoint presentation
addressing one disorder of the
human respiratory system.
Reports will be presented to
the class.
KWL Process
Getting Started…

Before beginning instruction, begin your KWL
chart provided by the instructor. Fill in the
following:

K: What do you already know about the human
respiratory system?

W: What do you want to learn about the human
respiratory system?
Let’s move forward…



Take out your respiratory system booklet
handouts.
With your partner, read through the information
provided in the booklet, and complete the
corresponding activities and quiz at the end.
Once you have finished, see me for feedback on
your completed booklet.
Notes:
The roles of the respiratory system parts:





Nasal Passage: The “nose”, this is the opening to the system.
Pharynx: The “throat”, air initially passes through this structure
between the nasal passage and trachea.
Larynx: The “voice box”, this is where vocal chords produce
sound waves (our voice).
Trachea: The “windpipe”, this is the muscular tube where air
passes after it leaves the pharynx and moves to the bronchial
tubes.
Epiglottis: The flap of tissue covering the openings to the
trachea and esophagus – it only opens one passageway at a time
to prevent choking.
Notes cont’d:





Bronchial Tubes: These two tubes branch from the bottom of
the trachea and carry air into the lungs.
Bronchioles: These small tubes branch from the ends of the
bronchial tubes and spread throughout the lungs – they lead to
alveoli.
Alveoli: These are small air sacs that have extremely thin and
porous walls that are conducive to gas exchange of carbon
dioxide and oxygen.
Lungs: These are the major organs of the circulatory system, the
site of major gas exchange. They expand to allow for movement
of gases in and out of the body.
Diaphragm: This muscle is located below the lungs and contracts
and expands to control the amount of air exiting and entering
the lungs.
We are now going to enter the computer lab, where you will
work with a partner at your own computer terminal.

Once in the computer lab, you will be viewing the
following sites:

The Labeled Respiratory System

E-Learning for Kids: The Respiratory System

http://www.elearningforkids.org/Courses/Liquid_Animation/Body_Parts/Respira
tory_System/index.html
While in the lab:

1. Access the first site, with the labeled respiratory system. Check your
own diagram worksheet and make certain your labels are correct.

2. Access the second site. This site provides audio and video – which we
will view together using the SyncronEyes technology.

3. Using the videos regarding the respiratory system, write one additional
piece of information regarding each system part into your graphic
organizer used during notes.

DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK QUESITONS IF YOU NEED
HELP!!
Go to http://www.google.com.

Search for respiratory system disorders or diseases.

Complete either a one page typewritten report (double
spacing, size twelve font, one inch margins all around)
or a PowerPoint presentation (minimum of 5-8 slides)
summarizing the definition, causes, symptoms, and
treatments or cures for this disorder/disease.

You and your partner will report back to the class on
your chosen disease.
Enrichment Activities

Using balloons provided by your instructor, work with your partner to make a
model of the respiratory system and demonstrate how the movement of the
lungs is similar to that of a balloon.

You will also complete the crossword puzzle provided in class to review
vocabulary of respiratory system and learn some additional terms associated
with this system.
Going back to the KWL…

Revisit your KWL chart and complete the “L”
section.

L: This stands for what you have learned regarding
the respiratory system that you did not already know
before studying this unit.
Evaluation Process

You will be evaluated
individually by your
teacher on all aspects of
this unit using the rubric
established before
instruction began.
