How do respiratory system interactive activities aid learning?
Can you label all of the different parts of the respiratory system correctly? Let's find out!
Respiratory system interactive activities like this one are fantastic tools for helping your class learn about the human body!

Interactive labelling activities are brilliant for introducing topics like this to a class as they encourage the visualisation of what's being taught, which can help kids understand these topics easier!

Twinkl Go resources like this are fantastic for whole-class activities as well, especially with labelling games, as you can set them up on an interactive whiteboard with ease, then your students can take turns placing the labels!

They're also designed to be used in a remote working environment, so whether you're teaching in an online lesson or setting homework, they can be used with minimal fuss!

Teachers can share this resource with customised groups via children's own usernames. Just launch then click Add to Lesson.

Parents can too! All you have to do is share this resource with your own children via their own username. Just launch then click Add to Lesson.

Why should kids learn about the respiratory system?

The respiratory system is one of a few important systems that keep our body functioning the way it does. The more kids learn about their bodies and how they operate, the more responsible they'll become when taking care of themselves!

These bodily systems are also the fundamentals of other biology topics that are taught later on in education, so learning them early on will make the understanding of more in-depth topics about the human body easier!

What makes up the respiratory system?

The respiratory system is made up of tissues and organs that allow you to breathe, such as the airways and lungs. Its main function is to supply oxygen to every part of the body. This happens through breathing. Humans inhale air that's rich in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, which is a waste gas.
Fun facts

The left lung is slightly smaller than the right to allow room for the heart.

Because lungs contain lots of air sacs, they float on water.

The fastest sneeze ever recorded was 165 km/h!

Use these engaging respiratory system interactive activities to help children learn more on the topic.

We're sure your children will end the day feeling like masters of the human respiratory system.

Fun facts about the respiratory system:

Whilst your child is filling out their respiratory system word search, why not carry on the fun and share these fun facts about the human body with them:

1. The human lungs are not identical. Our left lung is split into two lobes, whilst our right lung has three. Our left lung is also a bit smaller, as to allow room for our heart.

2. The respiratory system is made up of tissues and organs that help us to breathe. It includes our airways, lungs, and all the blood vessels and muscles that attach them.

3. You can survive with only one lung. Though it would affect your physical abilities, you would still be able to live a relatively normal life.

4. The human lung can float on water, due to their air sacs. If you breathe out in the swimming pool, you will sink as the air sacs become empty.

5. We lose half a litre of water a day through breathing.
