    The students conducted an experiment to determine if age affects lung capacity. They measured the exhalation time of subjects in different age ranges and hypothesized that older subjects would have greater lung capacity since their lungs are more developed. Their results showed that lung capacity increases until age 20 and then decreases, though other factors like exercise can also impact lung capacity. Spirometry was identified as a more accurate method to measure lung capacity than just timing exhalation.

    LUNGS CAPACITY LAB

    BY: JUAN DAVID PERILLA, JUAN DIEGO NUÑES, JOSE JAVIER PEREZ
    AND CARLOS SANTIAGO. SOLORZANO
    DO AGE AFFECTS LUNG CAPACITY?
    HYPOTHESIS
    IF WE EVALUATE PEOPLE OF HIGER AGE RANGES THEN THEIR EXALATION TIME WOULD BE
    GREATER MEANING THAT THEIR LUNG CAPACITY WOULD BE GREATER.
    WE MADE THIS PREDICTION BECAUSE WE THING THAT IF THE PERSON IS OLDER THEIR
    LUNGS SHOU BE MORE DEVELOPED.
    METHOD
    A. We find subjects of differents range age: (1-10), (11-20), (31-40), (40-50)
    and (> 50)
    B. The subjects take in the biggest breath possible and then exhale
    slowly. We measure how long it takes for subject to exhale completely.
    C. We repeat the measure 2 more times and average the results by
    subject.
    D. We complete tables and graphs.
    RESULTS

    ANALYSIS AND DISCUTION


    A. ANALYZE YOUR DATA. WHAT VARIATION FROM PERSON TO PERSON IN TERMS OF LUNG CAPACITY IS SHOWN BY
    YOUR DATA?

    LUNG CAPACITY INCREASES UNTIL THE AGE OF 20 AND THEN DECREASES, ALTHOUGH OTHER FACTORS CAN
    INCREASE LUNG CAPACITY, WHICH MEANS THAT THIS TREND IS NOT ALWAYS SEEN.

    B. BESIDES AGE, WHAT OTHER FACTORS CAN AFFECT LUNG CAPACITY? CHECK SECONDARY SOURCES ?
    OTHER FACTORS THAT CAN AFFECT LUNG CAPACITY ARE WHEN PEOPLE PARTICIPATE MORE IN SPORTS , THAT MAKES
    THEIR LUNG CAPACITY GREATER . SMOKE AND LUNG DISEASES CAN DECREASE LUNG CAPACITY TOO.

    C. IS THIS AN ACCURATE METHOD TO MEASURE LUNG CAPACITY? SUGGEST ANOTHER WAY OF MEASURING THE
    AMOUNT OF AIR EXHALED WITH EACH BREATH. CHECK SECONDARY SOURCES.

    SPIROMETRY IS A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT PROVIDES DIFFERENT MEASURES OF LUNG CAPACITY.

    CONCLUTION
    IS THERE A CORRELATION BETWEEN AGE AND LUNG CAPACITY?

    , THE LUNG CAPACITY IS GREATER BETWEEN 20 AND 30 AND THE LUNG CAPACITY STARTS GETING LOWER.
