ACTIVITY 3:

JUST GO WITH
THE FLOW!
OBJECTIVES:

• Describe blood flow and gas exchange within the heart,


circulatory system, and lungs;

• Explain the mechanism of how the respiratory and


circulatory systems work together; and

• Identify the components of the circulatory system and


explain the different types of circulation.
MATERIALS:

• Paper strips
• Marker pen
• Rope or ribbon
• Chalk
PROCEDURE:

1. Perform the activity with your group mates.

2. Assign and label different areas in the outdoor


setting as: lungs, left atrium, left ventricle,
artery/aorta, capillary, veins, right ventricle,
and right atrium.
PROCEDURE:

3. Using the marking pen, write down the word oxygen on as


many paper strips as you can and place them in the lung area.
The capillary area should have papers with carbon dioxide
written on them.

4. Use the chalk to mark and define the different areas such
as what is given in the diagram below. Assign some members
of your group to stand still on the different marked areas.
Illustration of the gas exchange activity.
PROCEDURE:

5. Choose the two members from the group to


take the trip around the different posts.

6. Partners must run along the chalk marks


representing the arteries into the capillary area.
PROCEDURE:

7. Tell the partners to exchange the strip of


paper representing oxygen for a piece of
paper representing carbon dioxide with a
member in his designated area.
PROCEDURE:

8. Make the partners run along the chalk


marks representing the veins into the hearts
area, first to the right atrium, then to the
right ventricle.
PROCEDURE:

9. The partners must then run back into the


lung area where the process begins again.
When there are no more strips of paper, the
activity is over. The leader may want to keep
placing new papers into designated areas to
keep the game going on longer.
PROCEDURE:

10. Record your observations and answer


the guide questions.

Questions:
Q1. How do the heart and lungs
work together?

•The heart pumps the blood that transports


the inhaled oxygen to every cell of the
body. Carbon dioxide is given off in the
process and is carried by the blood to the
lungs and is released through exhalation.
Q2. What takes place when you
inhale and exhale?

•Gas exchange happens when we


inhale and exhale. We take in
oxygen, and emit carbon dioxide.
Q3. What does blood deliver to
every part of the body?

•Blood delivers nutrients,


oxygen, and other substances
that are needed by the body.
Q4. Why is oxygen important to
your body?

•It is important to our body


because it is one of the substances
needed by the cells in order to
make energy.
Q5. How will you describe the sequence of
oxygen, carbon dioxide, and blood flow in
your own words?

•Oxygen enters the RS through inhalation,


and enters the blood stream to be
circulated throughout the body. Carbon
dioxide from the tissues enter the blood
then to the lungs where it is exhaled.

from the very start?
LET’S GENERALIZE!!!

circulation.
B. What are the three major parts of the
circulatory system, with their roles?

circulation?
