Lungs

Reading

Working together at the table

We had a science co-op earlier this week. This time we met at a park. In hindsight, that was a terrible meeting space. The kids just wanted to play, but it was raining and we had work to get done. We let the kids run around a bit first while we waited for everyone to arrive.

 

 

Rachel read them a few pages from a science book about the lungs. Then she showed them a video about how the lungs work.

 Once they were done with the video, the children painted their lungs and blotted on alveoli.

 

 Then we made a "lung" out of balloons, straw, play doh, duct tape, and a bottle.

 As always, the children enjoyed themselves. They especially loved the lung fake lung and even Caitlin understood the concept of our lungs expanding when we breathe in and contracting when we breathe out.
