Ooh! Oh, yeah! Ok. I got it.
Um, ok. First, the air comes
in...
[Inhales]
and then--then it goes out

]] Hoo hoo!
]] Ah. So who wants to share
something with the class?
]] Ooh, ooh. Well, this
morning, I asked my mom and dad
Where air goes when I breathe
in, and they told me it goes
Into somewhere called the
lungs, whatever they are.
]] Oh.
]] Oh, well, they're right.
]] Yeah?
]] When we breathe in air, it
does go to a place in our chest
Called the lungs. Here. Look at
this picture here.
]] Ooh.
]] Cool!
]] These are the lungs.
]] Wow. They look like pink
balloons.
]] Oh, you're right, may. They
do kind of look like balloons.
Isn't it amazing that we all
have lungs inside our bodies?
]] Yeah.
]] Yeah, and here's how you can
feel what lungs do. Stand up.
Come on.
]] Oh, ok.
]] Put your hands on your side
like this.
]] Ok.
]] And inhale. That means
breathe in.
[All inhaling]
]] hey, hey. My body is puffing
Out.
]] Yeah. That's your lungs
filling up with air. Now we'll
Exhale, which means to breathe
out.
[All exhaling]
]] hoo hoo hoo! My side goes
Down when i...
[Exhales]
exhale.
]] Yeah. That's right. When you
inhale and exhale, that's
Called breathing!
]] But, susie, why do we even
need to breathe?
]] Oh, good question. Well, we
all need to breathe air because
It has something in it that our
bodies really need. It's called
Oxygen.
]] Oxygen.
]] Whoa! If we need oxygen,
then we better get it pretty
Quick.
]] Yeah.
]] Oh, oh. Slow down. You don't
need to try to get oxygen. Your
Lungs do the work without us
having to tell them to, and
Your lungs work all the time.
]] Even when we're asleep?
]] Yes, even when we're asleep.
Hey, you know, I think it's
time to investigate different
Ways we use our lungs. Let's
all go to the...
]] Super fab lab!
]] Right. Grab your journals,
and let's go.
]] Ok. Come on. Get our
journals!
]] Fun. Ha!
]] Heh heh.
]] Ha ha ha.
]] Ok.
]] Ha ha ha.
]] Super fab lab!
]] Investigate, explore,
discover! Ahh!
]] Ok. It's time for our lung
investigation.
]] Yay!
]] Remember that lungs bring
air in and out of our bodies,
So now we're going to inhale
and exhale and observe some
Things that happen when we move
air with our lungs.
]] Oh, wait, wait. I have to
get my lungs ready, ok?
[Inhaling and exhaling]
ahh. Ok. All ready!
]] Ha ha ha! Good. So you can
use your lungs to blow bubbles
In cups of water using a
straw...
]] That's cool.
]] Cool.
]] Blow at the pinwheel...
]] Ahh.
]] And blow soapy bubbles.
]] I love bubbles!
]] Oh, can we start, susie?
Please! Can we start, please?
]] Oh, ho. I'm glad you're so
excited to investigate
Scientists, but first, let's
calm down, using our lungs.
Everybody inhale.
[All inhale]
now exhale a deep breath out.
[All exhale]
and relax. Great. Now let the
Lung investigation begin.
]] Ok!
]] Hey. You're a scientist. You
can try this, too.
]] It's time for the lung
investigation. Let's observe
What happens when we inhale and
exhale with our lungs. Try
Blowing through a straw into a
cup of water. What happens when
You blow softly? Oh. You make
little bubbles. What happens
When you inhale and then blow
out stronger? Ooh! You make
Really big bubbles. Try using
your lungs to blow party
Favors. You have to inhale and
then exhale for a long time to
Make the party favors stretch
all the way out. Good job.
Here's something else you can
use your lungs to do, blow
Soapy bubbles.
Discover what happens when you
blow really hard. Wow! You make
Lots of bubbles. If you want to
make a pinwheel spin, you have
To inhale really deep and then
exhale for a while. Here's a
Big challenge. Ask a grownup
for a balloon and try blowing
It up. It's not easy. It takes
a lot of inhaling and exhaling
To blow up a balloon. When
you're done, hand your balloon
Back to a grownup. And now you
can draw pictures in your
Journal of your favorite way to
use your lungs. Was it blowing
Up a balloon, blowing bubbles,
or making a pinwheel spin?
All right, scientists! I can't
wait to see what kinds of
Observations you made when you
used your lungs. Sid, may we
Take a look at your journal.
]] Oh, sure. Well, it was easy
to blow bubbles in the water. I
Went...
[Makes bubbling sounds]
and then I tried to make the
Pinwheel spin, and I had to
breathe a lot of air into my
Lungs and exhale a lot to make
it spin fast, but I did it.
]] Oh, your lungs worked hard.
Good job, sid.
]] Thank you.
]] Ok. May, let's look at your
journal.
]] Ok. Um, I blew lots of soapy
bubbles, and I had to blow
Really slowly to make a big
bubble.
]] As you exhaled more and
more, the bubble got bigger and
Bigger.
]] Yes.
]] Now I know another way you
can all use your lungs.
]] How?
]] You can all go and play with
all your new ideas.
]] Yay!
]] Wow!
]] Breathe in and out.
]] We'll use our lungs.
]] It's time to play pretend
fairy tales. Once upon a time,
There were little pigs.
]] Yeah.
]] Ok. We'll be the pigs, all
right?
]] Cool!
]] And, gerald, you'll be the
wolf.
]] Oh. Does the wolf wear a
chef's hat?
]] He does now!
]] Oh, no! It's the big, bad
wolf! Let's run to our houses!
]] Arr! Arr!
]] Ok. Now I'm in my straw
house.
]] And I'm in my stick house.
]] And I'm in my brick house.
]] Ding-dong. Hello! I am the
wolf! Oh, no. Wait a second.
Um, hi. I'm a guy who's selling
toys.
]] No. You're the wolf. Sorry.
You can't come in.
]] Well, then I'm gonna use my
lungs to inhale and exhale and
Blow your house down.
]] Oh, no!
]] [Inhales]
[exhales]
]] Yikes! Oh, there goes my
straw house. Aah!
]] Come into my stick house.
Come on, come on, come on.
]] Safe. Heh heh.
]] Ding-dong. Plumber here to
fix the sink.
]] Uh-uh. We know it's you,
wolf.
]] Yeah.
]] Ok. Well, I'm gonna use my
lungs to inhale and exhale and
Blow your house down.
]] Uh-oh.
]] Ohh! Yikes!
]] Oh, no. My stick house. Come
over here.
]] Ha ha ha!
]] Come on, come on. Quick,
quick, quick. I have an idea.
]] What?
]] Let's use our lungs to blow
the wolf away.
]] Yeah.
]] Inhale.
[All inhale]
]] ding-dong. Uh, mailman.
]] Exhale.
[All exhale]
]] whoa! You pigs have big
Lungs!
]] Yay!
]] We did it!
]] Ha ha ha!
]] Whoo-hoo! Yay!
]] Um, now can I come in. I'm a
little princess.
]] No!
]] Oh. Can I come in now? I'm a
baby. Got to let me.
]] No. You're still the wolf!
]] You're the wolf!
]] Ohh. What?
]] We're gonna catch you!
]] Aah! Aah!
]] Ha ha ha!
]] We'll get you, baby wolf.
]] Ha ha ha!
]] Hee hee hee!
[All inhale]
and now...
]] It's time...
]] For susie...
]] To sing.
]] Go, susie!
]] Wow! You all have some
strong lungs.
]] Yeah, yeah.
]] And our lungs work for us
all the time when we're awake
And asleep. All right now.
You've had a busy day of
running around. So relax a bit
And sit down.
]] Ok.
]] It's time to take a rest.

underwater?
]] Yeah, they sure can. One of
my favorite hobbies is scuba
Diving. You breathe into a tube

underwater. You still use your
Lungs to breathe in, but now
you're getting air and oxygen
From the t*nk. It's so much
fun! And once when I was scuba
Diving, I saw a large whale.
Yeah! Now even though whales
swim underwater without a t*nk,
They still have lungs to
breathe. They inhale and exhale
Through their big blowhole
that's on the top of their
Head. That's their nose!

[Exhales]

Get oxygen from the air. Plus,
I found out that even the huge
Whale that grandma saw

And when a whale exhales, watch
out because it sh**t a lot of
Air from its blowhole way up

Will be a really fun ride that
kids and grownups can go on.
See, it will be like a big
robot whale that inhales lots
Of air, and after the lungs
fill up with air, the whale
Will exhale, and whoosh! Pshhh!
A whole bunch of air will sh**t
out of its blowhole. See, you
Just put your raft on top of
the blowhole and wait for the
Whale to exhale, and then
plshhh! Whee! You get a ride up

a really, really big raft and
Get all your friends and family
together, and then you wait for
