Activity 1 - What A Bunch of Grapes

The document describes an activity to identify the key parts of the respiratory system by comparing it to the structure of a bunch of grapes. It explains that the trachea represents the main stem, the bronchi represent the two large branching stems, the bronchioles represent the little stems, and the alveoli represent the individual grapes. It then asks three guide questions about what each part represents, how to describe the pathway of oxygen, and what would happen if one part fails to function properly.

ACTIVITY 1:

WHAT A
BUNCH OF
GRAPES!
OBJECTIVE:

Identifying the
key parts of the
breathing system.
PROCEDURE:
•Identifying the parts of the
breathing system that are
similar to the structure of
the bunch of grapes.
PROCEDURE:

•Do not eat the


grapes until you
finish the activity.

• Trachea is the empty tube that serves as
passageway of air into the lungs.
• Bronchi are the two branching tubes that
connect the trachea to the lungs.
• Bronchioles are the hairlike tubes that connect
to the alveoli.
• Alveoli are the airsacs that allow gas exchange
in the lungs.

GUIDE QUESTIONS:
Q1. What does each part of
the “bunch of grapes”
model represent, in relation
to the breathing system?
Q2. How will you
describe the pathway
of oxygen in the
breathing system?
Q3. What will happen if
one part of the system
fails to carry out its
function properly?
Q1. What does each part of the “bunch of grapes”
model represent, in relation to the breathing
system?

• main stem = trachea


• two large branching stems = bronchi
• little stems = bronchioles
• individual grapes = alveoli
Q2. How will you describe the pathway of oxygen
in the breathing system?

• From the nose and mouth, oxygen travels


to the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and
then into the alveoli.
Q3. What will happen if one part of the system
fails to carry out its function properly?

• The other parts of the breathing system


will not be able to carry out their
corresponding functions as well, and the
whole respiratory system will be affected.
