LUNG & DIAPHRAGM EXPERIMENT

We finished out unit on the respiratory system today.  That means it was experiment time.  Yay!  This experiment showed us how the lung & diaphragm work together to both take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide.  The boys really enjoyed seeing our experiment work.  

 I cut the bottom off of the bottle and then Bugs put the balloon on the top opening.

 Elvis cut the bottom off of another balloon and stretched it tightly over the bottom opening.


Then it was time to make it work.  And it did!  Very cool!
An up close look.
