Making A Model of Lungs

This document provides instructions for making a model of the lungs using common household materials. The model uses a plastic bottle, cork, tube, and balloons to demonstrate how lungs and the diaphragm work together. A balloon is attached to a tube inserted in a cork and placed in the bottle mouth to represent the lungs. Another balloon is taped to the bottom of the bottle to represent the diaphragm muscle beneath the lungs. Pushing and pulling on the diaphragm balloon shows how it works with the lungs.

Making a Model of the Lungs


Materials
O Clear plastic bottle, such as a 2 liter bottle
O Cork stopper that will fit the mouth of the
bottle. This cork should have a hole through it.
O Small tube that will fit the hole in the cork
O Large balloon
O A large piece of broken balloon. A used party
balloon works well for this.
O Tape -Wide clear packing tape works the best.
Instructions
(Fig.1) Carefully cut the bottom
off of the plastic bottle. Put tape all
around the bottom, covering the
sharp edge. This is to protect the
balloon that you will attach later.
Insert the tube into the cork so that
the tube sticks out on both ends.
(Fig 2) Attach the balloon to the
tube using tape. Make sure it is
completely sealed. To test it, try
blowing up the balloon.
The balloon represents a lung.
There are no muscles in the lungs.
*If you can get the mouth of the
balloon over the mouth of the
bottle, then you will not need the
cork.
(Fig. 3) Put the cork into
the mouth of the plastic (Fig. 4) Tape the large
broken balloon to the
bottle. Make sure it is
bottom of the plastic bottle.
tight. Make sure it is air tight!
This balloon represents the
large muscle that is beneath
the lungs (the diaphragm).
(Fig. 5) Push and pull on the
balloon (slowly) to see how it
works. If you have trouble
catching hold of the balloon, put a
small piece of tape on the center of
the balloon to make a handle.
