Learning objectives
Students will identify and label the parts of the Respiratory System. Using technology,
smart board lessons and Internet sites on the human body/respiratory system students will
be introduced to the human lung and how it works. Using materials provided, students will
work collaboratively to make a lung and show how our lungs work. The students will be
assessed using the RubiStar rubric and the worksheet to label the parts of the lung.
