The Diaphragm in Action!: Materials Needed

This document provides instructions for building a model of the diaphragm and lungs using drinking straws, balloons, rubber bands, and a plastic cup. When the large balloon covering the cup opening is pulled down, the small balloon inside the straw will inflate, mimicking inhalation. Releasing the large balloon allows it to return to its original position, causing the small balloon to deflate, mimicking exhalation.

The Diaphragm in Action!

Materials Needed:
2 drinking straws, scissors, 2 small Balloons, 2 large Balloons, small
rubber band, large rubber band, rubber cement, masking tape, plastic
cup or plastic bottle.

Procedures:
1. Cut a drinking straw to about 2 inches in length.
2. Cut the straw into a triangle in the center.
3. Fit a small balloon over one end of the straw.
4. Secure the balloon with a small rubber band. Make certain that the
balloon is secure so that air will not escape either balloon. You can
check this by blowing into the balloon.
5. Bend the straw in the middle.
6. Cut a “V” into the end of the second straw. Fit this straw into the
bent straw and cement the two pieces together. Allow this to dry.
7. Cut a small hole in the bottom of the plastic cup; the same exact size
as the end of the straw.
8. Push the straw, from outside the cup, into the hole and flush against
the cup end.
9. Cement the straw, on the outside, to the cup.
10. Cut the neck of the large balloon off.
11. Stretch the large balloon over the opening of the cup. Secure the
ends with the large rubber band.
12. Pull on the large balloon and observe what happens to the
smaller balloon.

Question :
1. What happen to the balloons when the layer is pulled down (contraction)
and what happen when the layer is returned to its original position
(relaxation) ?
2. If the model is seen as a chest cavity, name the respiration organ numbered
with 1-5.
3. Based on your observation of the model, explain the process of inhaling and
exhaling.

Another instruction : Please explain the procedures (display step by step the
process) and question in the video. Make interesting
models and video. ^_^
