Breathing and the Respiratory System Start 13 th of October 202 5 Time (80 min)
To explain the differences between inhaling and exhaling, Students discuss with a partner and note down ideas. "What happens to your body when you take a deep breath in and when you exhale?" Page 96 Breathing
Explain how the diaphragm and intercostal muscles work together during inhaling and exhaling. Compare the changes in pressure, volume, and the movement of muscles during both inhalation and exhalation. Define inhalation and exhalation and identify the main muscles involved. Lungs, rib cage, inhalation, exhalation Intercostal muscles Diaphragm

Group Work Discuss to Draw a T-table to compare breathing vs respiration: Breathing Respiration It’s the process of taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. It’s the process of releasing energy in the form of ATP from food (glucose) and oxygen. Occurs in Lungs Occurs in Mitochondria Taking in Oxygen and release carbon dioxide Oxygen + glucose water + carbon dioxide + ATP (energy)
Learning Points You have 2 lungs, one on each side of your chest. They are protected by the rib cage. They are spongy as they are full of air. They exchange gases, oxygen leaves the lungs to the blood and carbon dioxide enters them from the blood. When breathing in, the ribs move out and up and the diaphragm moves down. To breathe out, the ribs move in and down, the diaphragm moves up.
Observe this picture to recognise how do ribs move? Through contraction and relaxation of the Intercostal muscle. The second muscle is the diaphragm.
Breathing Your breathing organs are the lungs, ribcage and diaphragm. If you could see inside your body, you would find them in the upper chest
This X ray shows the lungs in the ribcage The person is facing you so the dark area near me is the left lung Can you make out that the left lung is slightly smaller to make room for the heart? The arrows are pointing to the diaphragm You can see the ribcage and other bones. keyposters.com
The diaphragm is a very powerful muscle. Watch how it controls breathing When the diaphragm moves down … the lungs expand and air is drawn in. When the diaphragm moves up … the lungs are squeezed and air is forced out And it all happens without you trying! How do we breathe? diaphragm http://www.biotopics.co.uk/humans
In the class we can’t see how our or other people’s lungs work. However, we can look at a model of how the lungs work. Remember When we breathe out the ribs move in and down. 2. The diaphragm relaxes and moves upwards. How do we breathe?

Put your hands on your chest and breath in and out SLOWLY. Can you feel your chest going up and out when you breath in? What happens to it when you breath out? How do we breathe?
Think/Pair/Share (3 min) Discuss to solve questions 1 to 4 page 145 Early finishers will solve questions 1 to 3 page 134
Questions page 125 Q1) The intercostal muscle and diaphragm help you to breathe. Q2) They work together to increase the volume of the chest. The intercostal muscle contracts to bring your ribs up and out . The diaphragm contracts and goes down . The increased in the volume makes air rush into your lung. Q3) lungs contain air so they are less dense than water. Q4) Nose/Mouth trachea Bronchi Bronchioles air sacs (alveoli) –> Blood capillaries
Explain how the diaphragm and intercostal muscles work together during inhaling and exhaling. Compare the changes in pressure, volume, and the movement of muscles during both inhalation and exhalation. Define inhalation and exhalation and identify the main muscles involved. Have students explain to a partner the difference between inhalation and exhalation, using key vocabulary like diaphragm and intercostal muscles. Conclude with a Q&A session, asking students to summarize what happens during each phase of breathing. Students will solve self-assessment for them to make self-check and track progress.
