Physiology students welcomed guests into our class today. We measured tidal volume, expiration reserve volume, and vital capability using balloons. Time to crunch some numbers and make sense of our data!

And that's a wrap on lab week in biology! Thousands of steps around the classroom and a few broken pieces of glass equipment are well worth it! The growth, collaboration, and scientific processes that occurred are so amazing! 🧪🧑‍🔬
