Lungs Model for Kids

First of all, make sure kids know where the lungs are in their bodies, what their important job is, and how they can protect and strengthen their lungs. We watched this simple demonstration to start learning about the lungs.

Then we read some books to dive into the topic a little further.

How to Make Lungs

How to Make Lungs

I started by explaining how the lungs are a bag-like organ used for breathing and even talking. It brings oxygen in the air and then lets carbon dioxide out. We need oxygen for our body to work, without it we will die.  At the bottom of the trachea (tube in your neck) there are two large tubes called the bronchi.  One leads to the left lung while the other heads into the right lung. Each main stem then branches off into tubes, or bronchi, that get smaller and even smaller. Many people compare our lungs to a gree with the trachea being the stem and the brochi as the ever splitting, smaller and smaller branches ending with the tiniest tubes called bronchioles in each lung – you have about 30,000 of these that are the thickness of a strand of hair. At the end are air sacs called alveoli (about 600 million in your lungs) that fill with air without you even thinking about it! Ready to see our simplified lung model in action?
