Lung Capacity

Recently, we’ve been doing the body in science (senses, organs, etc . . .). We got to do a fun experiment to see how much air was in Hannah’s lungs. The only picture I got of Hannah actually doing the experiment is blurry. Boo. But it was fun and Benjamin got to try it out too. 🙂

Mommy and Daddy both emptied the 2 liter. We looked it up and avg capacity for adult male is 4 liters, which seems amazing. Even the amount of air that Hannah blew didn’t seem like it would fit inside her chest.

All pictures here.

  1. Just fill up two liter with water and place upside down in bowl (try not to let in air), then blow into the two liter with a straw to see how much water you can displace.
