Choose a Topic: Select a respiratory illness or condition to research (e.g., asthma, pneumonia, lung cancer, bronchitis, or COPD).

Research and Summarise: For your chosen illness or condition, create a summary that includes the following information:

• Causes: What factors or behaviors contribute to this condition?

• Symptoms: What are the common signs and symptoms

• Treatments: What treatments or lifestyle changes can help manage or cure this condition?

Present Your Findings: Prepare a short summary to share with the class on Padlet.

Sources: Use credible sources for your research, such as medical websites, educational articles, or health resources.

Also, consider if any other body systems are involved/impacted by your chosen illness/condition.

There is an example post below:

Symptoms: Common symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing, especially at night or early in the morning.

Treatments: Asthma is typically managed with inhalers (such as bronchodilators to open airways and corticosteroids to reduce inflammation), lifestyle changes to avoid triggers, and, in some cases, long-term control medications. Regular check-ups are important for managing symptoms.
