Activity1 2

This document describes an activity to build a model of the human respiratory system and demonstrate the relationship between air pressure in the thoracic cavity and breathing. The model uses a bell jar, Y-shaped glass tube, balloons, and rubber sheet to represent parts of the respiratory system. When the rubber sheet is pulled down, the balloons contract and air pressure inside the bell jar increases. When the rubber sheet is pushed up, the balloons expand and air pressure inside the bell jar decreases. The activity aims to show that breathing is driven by changes in thoracic air pressure.
