Measure, how much air you can give with one blow:
Breath as much as you can into the big bottle full of water

Get a 1.5 litre plastic mineralwater bottle, a big bowl full of water and a tube of 1 metre length (you can also take a drinking straw with a bendable end).

(How can you easily show that this "empty" bottle is full of water?)
1. The teacher has closed the bottle full of water, turned it upwards down, dipped it into the bowl with water.
2. She screwed off the cap and 3. put one end of the tube into the bottle neck.   (The water did not flow out!)
Photo:  The child took a deep breath and blew it into the bottle.
How many litre can you give with one breath?
