OEQ: Rate of Respiration

This OEQ game helps Primary 5 students practise answering open-ended questions about the rate of respiration. Your child will learn to explain why our breathing rate changes during and after physical activity, using the scaffolded OEQ approach.

Sample Questions

  1. Why does a person breathe faster during exercise than when resting?
  2. After running for 10 minutes, a student's breathing rate increased. Explain why this happens.
