9. Below is the data table you need to complete for this activity. Notice how the Independent variable is on the right-hand side of the table and the dependent variable is on the left-hand side of the table.
The relationship between students and the amount of carbon dioxide in their breath.
Number of drops Number of people
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
10. Draw a bar graph and label the axis. Remember, IV goes on the X-axis and the DV goes on the Y-axis. The bottom of the graph is a larger box so you can write the number of people side-ways with enough space.
11. Analysis Questions i. What was the range of carbon dioxide in exhaled breath (as measured by drops of
sodium hydroxide)? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
ii. Look at the diagram of the human respiratory system. Considering all the oxygen that has to get into your blood and all the carbon dioxide that has to escape from your blood, why do you think the inside of the lung is structured the way it is? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
iii. Were the data collected in Part A qualitative or quantitative? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
iv. Were the data collected in Part B qualitative or quantitative? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
12. Extra Credit : You must have everything else completed to earn extra credit. You must also have not been given silent lunch or have been removed from class.
i. Look carefully at the diagram of the human respiratory system. What are some of the important structures in the respiratory system? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
ii. Explain where gases are exchanged within the respiratory system ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
iii. Be sure to explain how the activity provided evidence for your intial ideas or caused you to change your thinking. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
13. Homework: Many respiratory diseases limit a person’s capacity to exchange oxygen. One of these diseases is pneumonia, which causes the alveoli to fill up with fluid. Another is pleurisy, which is an inflammation of the lining of the lung, making it painful to inhale and exhale. Explain how you believe these diseases may affect your ability to breath. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
