Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Science 9 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on

The Human Breathing System

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by

educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher
or facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12
Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic
constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore,
this also aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in
the body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

In view to the new normal world we are facing, this
module was created to answer that education
should not stop for our learners.
This Science 9 Module for Quarter 1 is all about the
Human Breathing System. With this we are trying
to allow our learners to work independently in
discovering through simple and enjoyable
activities/ experimentation that are aligned to the
competencies that they should learn.

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use

this module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while
allowing them to manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected
to encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the
module.

 What I Need to Know

Hi there! In grade 8, you found out how the digestive system digests the
food you eat in order to provide energy for your whole body.

This time, in this module, you will learn another organ system of your
body which is the human breathing system. You will know the different
parts and functions of this system and how it works to carry out its
functions.

The module is divided into 3 lessons, namely:

 Lesson 1 - The Human Breathing System
 Lesson 2 - How the Lungs Work
 Lesson 3 - Just Go with the Flow

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Identify the key parts of the breathing system.
2. Describe the function of each part of the breathing system.
3. Explain how the lungs work.
4. Describe how the movement of diaphragm helps air go in and out of
the lungs.
5. Describe the blood flow and the gas exchange within the heart,

Activity 2. Who Am I?

Directions: Unscramble the letters and use the given clues (meaning) to
determine the science term being described. Write your answer on the space
provided.

(I C L I A) 1. Tiny hair like structures located in

inside of the nose.
(C H E A T R A) 2. The main tube that serves as the passage
way of air in and out of the lungs.
(P H R A G D I A M) 3. The muscular wall below the rib cage that

around the lungs.
(V E O L I A L) 4. The tiny bubble-like bunch structures
where the exchange of oxygen and
carbon dioxide gases take place.
(R O N C H B I) 5. The two primary divisions of the trachea
that lead into the left and right lungs.

What is It

The human breathing system is an organ system made up of

different organs that allow us to breathe. They help us bring oxygen into our
body cells and get rid of carbon dioxide in the air we breathed out. Body
cells require oxygen to stay alive. When cells do their jobs, carbon dioxide is
produced. This exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide gases is known as
respiration.

The respiratory system includes the nose, mouth, nasal passageways,

windpipe, lungs, and diaphragm. Nose and mouth allow air to enter. Air is
made warm, damp, and clean of unknown particles. Next, the air passes
down the pharynx and through the larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and
into the alveoli. Trachea is the empty tube that serve as passageway of air

5
into the lungs. Bronchi are the two branching tubes that connect the
trachea to the

6
lungs. Bronchioles are the hair like tubes that connect to the alveoli. Alveoli
are the air sacs that allow gas exchange in the lungs.

Activity 2. Breathe In, Breathe Out!

Objective: Describe how the movement of the diaphragm helps the air go
in and out of the lungs

Procedure:
1. Stand up, put your hands on your belly just below your ribs.
2. Breathe in through your nose, and breathe out through pursed lips as if
you were whistling. Feel the movement of your ribs and diaphragm.

11
3. Do this breathing exercise 3 to 10 times.
4. Write your observation.

Guide Questions:

1. What did you feel when you were inhaling and exhaling?

2. How does the movement of the diaphragm cause the air to go in and out
of the lungs?

What is It

When you breathe in or inhale, the

diaphragm muscle contracts. Inhaling
moves the diaphragm down and
expands the chest cavity.
Simultaneously, the ribs move up and
increase the size of the chest cavity.
There is now a bigger space and less air
pressure inside the lungs. Air pushes in
from the outside where there is higher
air pressure. It pushes into the lungs
where there is lower air pressure.

When you breathe out or exhale,

the diaphragm muscle relaxes. The
diaphragm and ribs return to their
original place. The chest cavity returns
to its original size. There is now less
space and greater air pressure inside
the lungs. It pushes the air outside
where there is lower air pressure.

19
 What is It

Oxygen is necessary for life to exist. Without it, the cells in the body
would not be able to release the energy stored in food.

The air first enters your lungs and then into the left part of your heart.
It is then driven by your heart into the bloodstream, all the way through
your body. The heart pumps blood, which transports essential nutrients,
oxygen, and other chemicals to every cell in your body. Once it reaches the
cells, oxygen processes the nutrients to release energy. Carbon dioxide is
given off during this process. The blood delivers carbon dioxide into the
right portion of your heart, from which it is pumped to the lungs. Carbon
dioxide leaves your body through the lungs when you exhale.

Activity 3. Gas Exchange and Blood Flow Simulation

Objective: Describe blood flow and gas exchange within the heart,
circulatory system, and lungs.

Procedure:
1. Imagine that you are a red blood cell and you will be
carrying oxygen around the body.
2. Find a partner at home who will help you to lay out
the huge body in an open space using a manila paper
or any paper available at home with labels and hula
hoops as in the following diagram.
3. There are two colors of paper blocks at each organ or
body part and in the lungs. One color will represent
oxygen (preferably red) and the other color will
represent carbon dioxide (preferably blue).
4. Start off by standing in the lungs and pick up
oxygen. You now represent oxygenated blood.
5. Walk to the left side of the heart.
6. The heart now pumps you out to the body in the circulatory system. Leave
the left heart hula hoop and walk to the organ or body part you are going
to supply with oxygen.
7. When you reach the body part, drop off your oxygen block into the
container and now pick up a colored block representing carbon dioxide.
You now represent deoxygenated blood.
8. Walk to the right side of the heart.
9. From here, the heart pumps you to the lungs. Walk to the lungs.
10. At the lungs, gaseous exchange takes place and you drop off the carbon
dioxide you were carrying and pick up oxygen again.
11. You can now repeat the cycle and walk to a different body part.

Guide Questions:

1. How do the heart and the lungs work together?

2. What happens when you breathe in and out?

3. What does the blood deliver to every part of the body?
