We wanted to develop educational materials appropriate for the high school student which would present physiological concepts in an innovative way. The impetus was in response to the lack of physiology educational materials appropriate for the high school level. To this end, we developed an exercise that presents the physiological basis for respiratory mechanics. The materials were designed to engage students in interactive learning and to stimulate interest for future science study. The emphasis of the exercise was the construction of a model that could be built by high school students to demonstrate respiratory mechanics. The use of models to present complex materials has been shown to be an effective medium for science learning. Our exercise contains directions for an inexpensive, easy-to-build model, as well as many supplemental teaching tools. Questions are interspersed throughout the text and at the end of the laboratory experience to facilitate the learning process. Answers are provided to the questions. Students and teachers alike are challenged to build, manipulate, and discuss their experience during the investigation of respiratory mechanics.
我们希望开发出适合高中生的教育材料，以创新的方式呈现生理学概念。这样做的动力是为了应对缺乏适合高中水平的生理学教育材料这一情况。为此，我们设计了一项活动，展示呼吸力学的生理基础。这些材料旨在让学生参与互动式学习，并激发他们对未来科学学习的兴趣。该活动的重点是构建一个高中生能够制作的模型，以演示呼吸力学。利用模型来呈现复杂的材料已被证明是科学学习的一种有效媒介。我们的活动包含了制作一个廉价、易于搭建的模型的说明，以及许多辅助教学工具。问题穿插在文本中以及实验体验结束时，以促进学习过程。问题均提供了答案。在对呼吸力学的探究过程中，学生和教师都面临着制作、操作并讨论他们的体验的挑战。
