Description Many professors are interested in providing Science Outreach to local K-12 students, but may not have the time or resources available to create an engaging presentation. This resource was designed to allow professors to easily create and implement their own outreach programming through modification of provided materials. It is an innovative module on the Respiratory System in which students: use pre- and post-questions to assess their knowledge, determine their lung capacities using portable dry spirometers, predict the effects of various factors (height, weight, pregnancy, etc.) on vital capacity, examine preserved healthy swine lung and “black lungs” representative of the effects of nicotine, and discuss healthy/unhealthy habits and their effects on the respiratory system.
