Abstract

This article describes the methodology for teaching the topic “Respiration of Living Organisms” from the 6th-grade Natural Sciences textbook through integration with biology, physics, chemistry, and mathematics. The topic includes interdisciplinary aspects such as oxygen intake and carbon dioxide release in living organisms, gas exchange in the lungs, movement of the chest cavity, the phenomenon of diffusion, energy production in cells, and mathematical analysis of respiration rates. The article substantiates that organizing the topic through an integrative approach enables the development of students’ competencies in analysis, creativity, inventiveness, scientific observation, experimentation, and drawing conclusions based on graphical data.
