LEARNING OBJECTIVES  To encounter another person breathing very close, to hear and feel the flow of air.  To experience moving air in different situations.  To know that everybody needs to take air in and out of own body.  To know that each person has a pair of lungs.  To be aware of the lungs as fragile “airbags” inside the chest.  To develop the skill of measuring and observing. ICT LINKS VOCABULARY  Use video on lungs and breathing. PE Lungs, breathe, breathing, air, airbag,  Use a graphics package to record chest, blow, wind results of lung capacity. ACTIVITIES RESOURCES POINTS TO  Blowing activities – use fans, hairdryers, card – feel wind/air – blow out  Fan, hairdryers, NOTE candles. card  Be aware of  Demonstrate air moving to show air exists and moves e.g. flap newspaper;  Tissue paper, any asthmatic let balloon full of air go. whistle balloon, pupils – use  Blow on your hand, tissue paper, a whistle, into a balloon, a peak-flow meter, peak-flow meter. their onto a mirror and observe effects  Body model experiences.  How hard can you blow? Measure with peak-flow meter or balloon or lung  Lung volume bag  Be aware of volume kit. kit. airborne  What helps us breathe/produce the air? Discuss pupils’ ideas.  Mirror infections.  Look at body model– name lungs or use a resuscitation model.  Use disposable  Feel own rib cage – what happens when you breathe? mouthpieces  What happens to breathing after exercise? with peak-flow meters, lung balloons, etc.  Ensure any electrical appliances have been tested for electrical safety.

 Augmentative switches can be used to enable pupils to turn appliances on and off.

OWN ACTIVITIES

POSSIBLE INVESTIGATIONS  Do boys or girls have the biggest lungs?  Find pupils’ lung capacity using a peak-flow meter or lung balloon and compare them.  Find out which objects will blow off the table Life Processes 1 Humans 1.7 The Lungs Life Processes 1 Humans 1.7 The Lungs Name: Date Record Began:

Outcomes: ‘P’ Level 1 NC Level 1

P1 (i)  Experiences air on hands, face, hair – may show simple reflex response or resist experience.  Experiences somebody else breathing nearby, i.e. hearing breathing. P1 (ii)  Shows random fleeting response to air moving against skin e.g. blinks, turns away, startles. P2 (i)  Begins to attend and respond e.g. cries or laughs when air contacts skin. P2 (ii)  Begins to show preferences to air felt on parts of body e.g. withdraws foot from air-flow. P3 (i)  Explores objects that can move air e.g. turns hair-dryer on and off using augmentative switch.  Shows interest in results of own actions e.g. watches tissue paper move when they blow. P3 (ii)  Actively explores blowing activities after demonstration. P4  Shows awareness of effects of blowing on certain objects e.g. covers ears when whistle appears, tries to hold tissue paper to stop it blowing away. P5  Experiments with objects e.g. tries to blow different objects off the table.  Joins in more actively e.g. takes/operates hairdryer, blows tissue away more independently.  Recognises features of objects e.g. tries to blow up balloon with air or use peak-flow meter.  Says something about the object when asked e.g. relevant response to question. P7  Shows understanding of some vocabulary e.g. will reply “blow” when asked how to make candle go out.  Communicates observations e.g. demonstrates faster breathing after exercise.  Observes one feature e.g. my breath is hot. P8  Shows where the lungs are and identifies organ in body model.  Demonstrates breathing in and out.

 Observes a change e.g. how body feels after exercise Life Processes 1 Humans 1.7 The Lungs

N.C.  Knows that we breathe air in and out. Level 1  Knows where lungs are in own body  Uses some relevant vocabulary.

 Uses the simple equipment with help e.g. peak-flow meter or lung balloon to measure capacity Further Comments
