In class, the 6th Grade was talking about the respiratory system and how our lungs are powered by our diaphragm. In this activity, they used half a water bottle and two balloons. One of the balloons represented our lungs the other our diaphragm. As students pulled on the balloon representing the diaphragm down it would inflate the other balloon just like in our body and court lungs. This was a great hands-on activity for students to get to see how our body and organ actually work and how they must work together to accomplish their jobs for our bodies.
