Last week the Ecology students completed a hands-on lab titled “Respiration Leads to Perspiration”—and it was both educational and a lot of fun! During this activity, students investigated how exercise affects the amount of carbon dioxide we exhale. After doing short bursts of exercise ( running in place), they exhaled into a beaker containing a chemical indicator that changed color in the presence of CO₂. Students timed how long it took the solution to change color before and after exercising. This experiment helped students understand how the body’s cells work harder during physical activity, using more oxygen and producing more carbon dioxide. It’s the same science behind why we breathe harder during sports, workouts, or any physical exertion—making this lab a perfect bridge between classroom learning and everyday life. My students loved this interactive experience, and the lab definitely brought cellular respiration to life!
Congratulations to all participants in our local middle school science fair!
