    This activity sheet provides data on the composition of inhaled and exhaled air. Students are asked to analyze the data by choosing appropriate graphs to display the percentages of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases in inhaled and exhaled air. They then answer questions about which gases remain the same or change between inhaled and exhaled air. The purpose is for students to use inquiry processes to analyze data, identify patterns, and draw conclusions about the changes in gas composition that occur during breathing.

    1 Activity sheet

    The composition of inhaled and exhaled air


    Setting the scene
    There are different amounts of gases in the air we breathe in (inhaled air) and
    the air we breathe out (exhaled air).

    Aims
    In this activity, you will be:

     analysing data obtained on the composition of inhaled and exhaled air.

    You will be using enquiry processes to:

     Analyse: present data using appropriate graphs

     Analyse: identify patterns in data to draw conclusions.

    Task
    1 Label the diagram of our breathing system.

    2 Choose the most appropriate graph or chart to display the data in the table.
    Draw two: one for inhaled air, and one for exhaled air.

    Gas Inhaled air (%) Exhaled air (%)

    nitrogen 78 78

    oxygen 21 16

    carbon dioxide 0.04 5.04

    other gases (e.g., argon) 0.96 0.96

    Questions
    1 Name a gas whose percentage composition in the air remains unchanged during the
    breathing process.

    2 Name a gas whose percentage composition increases in exhaled air.

    3 Calculate by how much the composition of oxygen decreases between inhaled and
    exhaled air.

    4 State where in the breathing system these changes in the gas content of air happen.

    5 Explain what has happened to the oxygen that has been removed from inhaled air.

    6 A student stated that ‘we breathe out carbon dioxide’. Is this statement correct? Use the
    data to help answer the question.

    7 Explain why scientists use graphs or charts for their data.

    Extension
    1 Explain why you chose the graph or chart you did to show the data. Why would
    other types of chart be less useful or incorrect?

    2 The data does not show any values for water vapour, which is present in the air we
    breathe in and out. Suggest whether water vapour levels would increase or decrease
    in exhaled air. Explain why this would happen.
