    Lab Materials

    This is the prep for one section of 24 students.

    Activity I: Identifying Structures

    Students will do this part in table teams (groups of 4).

    Materials Quantity Notes
    human torso model 1 per table  
    heart model 1 per table  

    Activity II: Respiratory Volumes and Lung Capacities

    Students will do this part in table teams (groups of 4).

    Materials Quantity Notes
    spirometer 1-2 per table  
    alcohol preps 4 per table to clean spirometers in between student use
    lung capacity value tables 1-2 per table for students to compare their values

    Activity III: Investigation

    Students will do this part in table teams (groups of 4). They will use the same materials as in part II of the lab activity.
