This year Joshua was able to enter the science fair. He spent some time thinking of what kind of project he would like to present and finally came up with making a set of "Working Lungs". Really when you have a mom and dad who love the human body your best bet is to stick with what is known in your home and be creative!
Josh and Brett spent a lot of time working on this project and Josh really did build his lungs all by himself. It was a great learning experience for him and he did a wonderful job. He learned how lungs inflate and deflate and how the diaphragm works as a muscle to help push the air out the trachea. He was able to explain the whole respiratory system to his school.
