Year 10 students studying Understanding the Human Body have been exploring the Respiratory System this term. On Tuesday, students completed a hands-on practical investigation, examining a lamb’s pluck containing the trachea, lungs, liver and heart.

Students observed a demonstration of the lungs being inflated before having the opportunity to closely examine the specimen themselves. This practical experience helped students develop a deeper understanding of how the structures of the respiratory system work together to deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the body.
