School Science Projects - Exercise & Sports
 Looking for an idea for a science project about the exercise, sports, and asthma? Here are a few ideas to help:
- Educate your class about exercise-induced asthma (EIA). Explain to them:
- Make a display or poster with a diagram of the lungs and show how the lungs work. You could also show the difference between someone with EIA vs. someone without EIA.
- Create a list of helpful hints for people with EIA and hand it out to classmates.
- Inform classmates about how they can help a friend who has EIA if they have an attack.
- Teach classmates about what activities are okay for someone who has EIA.
 Measure lung capacity with:- Construct a lung
- Gather your classmates together and time their breathing. Compare how many breaths they take:
- Per minute
- Per hour
- Per day
- Per year
- Show classmates what its like to have EIA by passing out drink straws, then have them run in place for 1 minute while breathing through the straw.
- Show a video telling about EIA similar to the one found here.
