Inside the Human Body—The Respiratory System
Although you may take breathing for granted, your respiratory system is always hard at work. Visit this Web site to learn how the respiratory system works. Divide into groups of four or six. Have half of the group members write the structures of the respiratory system on individual slips of paper. Have the other group members write the descriptions of these structures on other slips of paper. Mix up the pieces of paper, and as a group, test your knowledge by matching all of the structures with their descriptions.
