Trying to find out ....... How Much Air Is In Our Lungs
lungcapacity01.jpg (17764 bytes)

We poured 250 ml of water into the jar
and made a mark on its side.

Then we poured another and another ....
making a mark each time.

Now we had a scale up the side of the jar
on which we could measure the capacity.

The sink was then half filled with water.

We completely filled the jar and turned it
upside down.


This was the tricky bit -
keeping your hand over the top so that
no water escaped.

The neck of the bottle was now under water.

We had a tube for blowing into.


A straw was put in the end for hygienic reasons.
lungcapacity06.jpg (11340 bytes) The end of the tube was then put into the sink
and pushed into the open end of the jar.

Now it was time to take a deep breath and

BLOW!

In went the air from our lungs.
As we blew the air in, it pushed water out of the jar.

Only ONE deep breath was allowed.
lungcapacity08.jpg (17042 bytes) We measured to see how much water
had been displaced from the jar.
This let us see approximately how many
cubic centimetres of air had been
blown out of our lungs with that one blow.
