Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How do we breathe?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. The chest cavity from the diaphragm up is called the Thorax.
  2. The ribs form a stiff boundary to the thorax.
  3. The rib cage, intercostal muscles and diaphragm are used to breathe.
  4. To move air into the lungs the rib cage is moved out and up by the intercostal muscles contracting. The diaphragm contracts and sinks.
  5. The increase in the volume of the lungs, reduces the air pressure in the lungs to lower than the air outside, pulling air particles into the lungs.
  6. To move air out of the lungs the rib cage is moved in and down by the intercostal muscles relaxing. The diaphragm relaxes and rises.
  7. The decrease in the volume of the lungs, increases the air pressure in the lungs to lower than the air outside, pushing the air particles out of the lungs.
  8. When there is a difference in pressure between the air around the nose and the air in the lungs, particles will 'diffuse' from the area of high pressure the area of lower pressure.
  9. Make simple measurements of lung volume.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What part of the human body is the thorax?
    The chest cavity from the diagram up is called the Thorax.
  2. What is the function of the ribs?
    The ribs form a stiff boundary to the thorax.
  3. What parts of the body are needed to ventilate the lungs in breathing?
    The rib cage, intercostal muscles and diaphragm are used to breathe.
  4. What happens to increase the volume of the lungs?
    To move air into the lungs the rib cage is moved out and up by the intercostal muscles contracting. The diaphragm contracts and sinks.
  5. How does the increase in lung volume cause breathing in?
    The increase in the volume of the lungs, reduces the air pressure in the lungs to lower than the air outside, pulling air particles into the lungs..
  6. What happens to decrease the volume of the lungs?
    To move air out of the lungs the rib cage is moved in and down by the intercostal muscles relaxing. The diaphragm relaxes and rises.
  7. How does the decrease in lung volume cause breathing out?
    The decrease in the volume of the lungs, increases the air pressure in the lungs to lower than the air outside, pushing the air particles out of the lungs.
  8. How does air pressure make air particles move?
    When there is a difference in pressure between the air around the nose and the air in the lungs, particles will 'diffuse' from the area of high pressure the area of lower pressure.
  9. How could you measure lung volume?
    You could use lung volume bags to measure the air breathed out.

Learning Phases/Episodes
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Differentiation: AGT, SEND, LLL, Disadvantaged
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
