CTE Month Spotlight - Health Science Ms. Colón’s Health Science Anatomy and Physiology students showcased their understanding of the respiratory system through hands-on learning. To visualize the structures, students created and labeled 3D models, engagingly reinforcing their knowledge of anatomy. Taking their learning further, students explored lung capacity using balloons and measuring tape. They calculated key respiratory volumes, including Vital Capacity (maximum exhalation after a deep inhale), Expiratory Reserve (additional air exhaled after a normal breath), and Tidal Volume (air inhaled during a regular breath). This interactive approach helped students connect theoretical concepts to real-world physiology, deepening their comprehension of the human respiratory system. #PanthersRISE
