Respiratory System Activity: What A Bunch of Grapes

The document describes an activity that uses a bunch of grapes to model the human respiratory system. Students will identify the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli as represented by different parts of the grape bunch. They will then trace the pathway of oxygen from the nose and mouth into the lungs and alveoli. Questions prompt students to describe what each part represents and how failure of one part could impact the system.

Activity: WHAT A BUNCH OF GRAPES!!!


Objectives:
1. Identify the key parts of the breathing system using the “ BUNCH OF GRAPES”.
2. Trace the pathway of oxygen using the “Bunch of Grapes” model

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.
5. Search for the image of bunch of grapes and paste it on the space provided below, then label the following parts:
TRACHEA, BRONCHI, BRONCHIOLES
AND ALVEOLI.

Summary of Key Concepts:
Fill in the correct term / word to complete the key concepts about the pathway of air/ oxygen in the respiratory system:

The air we breathe goes through the nose, nasal passages, and then through the 1._____________or windpipe,
which separates into two branches, called bronchial tubes or ( 2 )____________, one entering each lung. The bronchi
subdivide many times inside the lungs, analogous to the branching pattern of grapes, finally becoming hairlike tubes
called (3 )._____________. In the last part of the terminal bronchioles are tiny bubble-like bunch of structures called
alveoli or ( 4 )_____________..
