Great Project Ideas and Resources

  • How to make a model of the lungs
    To understand asthma, it's important to know how we breathe. This project involves creating either a one-lung or two-lung model of the lungs to show what happens when we inhale and exhale.
  • Model of a home full of asthma triggers
    Avoiding asthma triggers is a very important part of properly managing asthma. By avoiding triggers, you can keep your asthma under better control and help reduce the need for medicines. To make this model you will need a doll house or something similar.
