A 5th grade check on the respiratory system. Part 1 asks students to label the trachea, bronchi, lungs and diaphragm on a chest diagram with a word bank. Part 2 has five multiple-choice questions about oxygen, the windpipe, the diaphragm, carbon dioxide and the ribs. Part 3 asks what happens in the alveoli. An answer key is on page 3.
“Identify the trachea, bronchi, lungs and diaphragm on a diagram.”
Part 1 has four numbered lines.
“Describe gas exchange in the alveoli.”
Question 10 asks what happens there, and questions 5 and 8 name the gases.
Four numbered lines end on a small chest diagram, with lungs, trachea, diaphragm and bronchi in a word bank.
Questions 5 to 9 give three answers each, on the gas we breathe in, another name for the trachea, the muscle below the lungs, the waste gas we breathe out and the bones that protect the lungs.
Question 10 asks what happens in the alveoli, with three lines to answer.
The four diagram labels, letters for questions 5 to 9 and a model sentence on gas exchange in the alveoli.
End of unit check
Use it as a short quiz once the unit is done. Part 2 takes a few minutes and Part 1 shows who can place the four parts.
Label then talk
After Part 1, have partners trace air from the trachea to the alveoli out loud before question 10.
Marking the short answer
Look for oxygen going into the blood and carbon dioxide coming out in question 10. The key sentence has both, and so should the student's.
