Finding out about breathing

This book investigates questions such as how is breathing controlled? How do the lungs work? Why do some people suffer from hay fever or asthma? Why do athletes train at high altitudes? Classroom activities, problems and project topics help students explore a seemingly simple function that can be taken for granted. The second edition of this resource provides a full science curriculum update and revised classroom activities with new information throughout, as well as coverage of recent medical developments in the control of asthma and hay fever. Photocopiable worksheets and suggested answers are also included in the resource package, with a free "What is Asthma?" wallchart. Teachers' notes are included.
