Objective: students will learn Outcome: students will be able to
 Understand the concept of a diffusion gradient. ● recall the functions of the organs in the gas
 Identify the sub-divisions of alveoli and interpret importance of its exchange system
surface area ● explain how the structure of the lungs allow
efficient gas exchange
Resources
Text book, pg 38
Starter activity Time: 5(min)
● Ask students the difference between inhalation and exhalation
Main activity Time: 30(min)
 Identify the direction of diffusion gradients for oxygen and for carbon dioxide between the lungs and the blood;
Understand that individual cells use oxygen for respiration and produce carbon dioxide;
Explain how these diffusion gradients for oxygen and carbon dioxide are maintained;
Reflect function of surface area in alveoli
Describe the sequence of how breathing movements occur;
Describe the pathway of inhaled air through the trachea, bronchi (left and right bronchus) and bronchioles to
the alveoli;
Describe what happens during gas exchange in the alveoli
Class work: 5(min) Home work
 Jot down the notes given
Plenary Time: 5 (min)
