Examining Lung Capacity

Objective

Measure and compare the lung capacity of different individuals.

Materials

  • Balloon
  • Measuring tape or ruler
  • Participants
  • Notebook for recording data

Instructions

  1. Ask each participant to take a deep breath and blow up a balloon in one breath.
  2. Measure the circumference of the balloon using a measuring tape or ruler.
  3. Record the measurements in your notebook.
  4. Repeat the measurement with different participants to gather a range of data.
  5. Compare the lung capacities of different individuals based on the balloon measurements.
  6. Analyze the data to determine any patterns or factors that might influence lung capacity.
  7. Present your findings in a report, discussing the importance of lung capacity for overall health.
