Essentials of healthcare worked on several labs. They made eggs into bouncy balls while they investigated osmosis and semi permeable membranes using food coloring. They used clay to create the anatomy of the respiratory system and looked at gas exchange and carbon dioxide levels with inhalation and expiration. This week we will look at barometric pressure as it relates to lung capacity as well as administering oxygen and using a laryngoscope to insert an airway. Students will begin a public health data driven project using the design thinking process to examine aspects of respiration related to Covid.
