Ward PBL

Students in Mrs. Ward's class chose to rewrite the words to popular songs to share what they learned about the lungs and diaphragm.  Here are a few excerpts:

1.  Poem:

By Surya, Eli, Mason, J Skye, Diego, Jordan

The diaphragm helps us breathe.

It’s right under our lungs.

It goes up when you breathe out

The diaphragm goes down when you breathe in.

Huh huh huh

The diaphragm helps you breathe.

Smoking hurts your lungs.

It makes your lungs black and yucky.

Don’t do drugs!

2.  LET IT GO:

The breathe goes in let the diaphragm out

Not a breath to be seen

A kingdom of breathalation

And it looks like I can breathe.

The air is moving like this storm in my lungs.

Couldn’t keep my diaphragm in heaven knows I tried.

Don’t let it in, don’t let lungs out

Be the good girl you always have to be

Conceal, don’t feel don’t let them know

Well now they know

Let it go, let it go

Can’t hold my breath anymore

Let it go, let it go

Can’t hold my breath anymore.

3.  Preston, JD, and Carter

“Get Jazzy on Me”

Get your lungs on me boom huh boom huh

I don’t know what the diaphragm does for me

The diaphragm helps your breathe

The diaphragm helps your lungs size up.

It goes up and down when you breathe

Your lungs push air into your vocal chords.

That’s how the diaphragm helps you breathe.
