By breathing through straws to simulate a lung disorder, students will experience what it feels like to have restrictive and/or obstructive lung disease and will observe first hand how such a disease can affect normal functioning. Once students have experienced how it feels to have obstructed or restricted breathing, they will conduct an experiment to determine the effect of restricted breathing on their ability to perform a simple cognitive test.
Assessment:
Pulmonary, diaphragm, lung disorder, lung disease, breath, straw, restrictive, obstructive, cognitive test
