The respiratory system is the network of organs and tissues that help you breathe! In this class, students will gain a better understanding of the respiratory system as well as how oxygen is taken in and used by our body. Students will also examine the structure of the lungs and how the blood carries the oxygen around the body. This class is aimed at students in Years 7 - 9 but is a great review for any biology student!
