For the development of the integrative project, there was the collaboration of the teachers of the subjects of chemistry, biology and physical education. The integrative project called “Understanding Respiration” was proposed to be developed in 4 weeks, and addresses aspects such as the functions of the respiratory system, gas exchange and breathing control.
