Gas exchange systems breathing in Year 8 Science
Start here
Focus on human breathing and gas exchange system. Start with “Compare the Contents of Inhaled and Exhaled air”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 8 learners practise human breathing and gas exchange system.
The activities include Compare the Contents of Inhaled and Exhaled air, Describe the Impact of Exercise, Asthma and Smoking on the Gas Exchange System, Explore What Happens in the Lungs, and related practice. The checked support below includes teaching, worksheet, lesson, video. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
Activities covered
- Compare the Contents of Inhaled and Exhaled air
- Describe the Impact of Exercise, Asthma and Smoking on the Gas Exchange System
- Explore What Happens in the Lungs
- Investigate the Adaptations of the Lungs
- Investigate the Respiratory System
- Recall What Happens in Aerobic Respiration
