Activity 1 - Module 1

This document describes an activity where students use a bunch of grapes to model the human respiratory system and identify its key parts. The main stem represents the trachea, the large branching stems represent the bronchi, the small stems represent the bronchioles, and the individual grapes represent the alveoli. Students then trace how oxygen moves through this "grape bunch" model, entering through the nose/mouth and traveling through the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles to reach the alveoli. The activity aims to teach students the functions of each respiratory system component and how impairment of one part could impact breathing.

Activity 1
PART A
What a Bunch of Grapes!
Objective: Identify the key parts of the breathing system
Materials: Bunch of grapes (or any other bunch of fruits or vegetables such as arosep or lato
(seaweed), lanzones, cauliflower, etc.)
Procedure:
1. Hold up the bunch of grapes. Let the bunch of grapes represent the breathing system.
2. Within your group, locate the parts of the breathing system: the main stem as the trachea, the
large branching stems as the bronchi, and all the little stems as the bronchioles. The individual
grapes are the air sacs or alveoli.
3. One by one, gently take out some of the grapes to expose more of the branching stems
(bronchioles). Observe its structure.
4. Trace the pathway of oxygen using the “Bunch of Grapes” model. Note that air moves from
the nose (nasal cavity) and mouth (oral cavity) to the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and then
into the alveoli (air sacs). The air we breathe carries the gas oxygen. When we breathe, the
oxygen goes to the lungs.

PART B

Objective: Describe the function of each part of the breathing system


Procedure:
1. Refer to the diagram, and check your understanding of the breathing system by labeling each
part and giving its functions in the box corresponding to the part.

Guide Questions:
Q1. What does each part of the “Bunch of Grapes” model represent, in relation to the breathing
system?
