Today you will make a calibrated, or marked, container that you will use to measure your lung capacity. You will fill the calibrated container with water, slide a hose into it, take a really deep breath, and blow in the hose. As the air in your lungs enters the container, it will push out the water inside. Just blow as long and as much as you can, then when you flip the bottle over you will be able to read the amount of water you have displaced. If you will subtract the water displaced from the total amount of water in the bottle, the result is your lung capacity.
