Principle
Determination of lung volume and vital capacities as a function of sex and height in a group using a spirometer. Determining whether the height and sex of a person play a role in the vital capacity.
Benefits
- Especially understandable and didactically prepared description of the experiment (relevance to everyday life, etc.) including protocol questions.
- Future-oriented teaching: Integration into digital science lessons with tablets or smartphones.
- Increased motivation of students by using the intuitive measureAPP.
- Increased media competence.
- Use of the same type of spirometer as in medical diagnostics
- disposable turbine eliminates the risk of infection
Tasks
- Determination of the vital capacity with the help of the spirometer in litres. Merging of the determined vital capacity with the data of the other test persons of the group.
- Determination of body sizes and determination of the relationship between body size (or gender) and vital capacity.
Learning Objectives
- Vital capacity
- series analysis
