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
