How Do Inhalers Help With Asthma?

Breathing is a really cool thing. We breathe automatically without thinking about it, but we can also control our breath and play with it. We'll learn how our lungs work and why our bodies need this air in the first place. We'll also hear from a singer and a free diver about how they've trained their breath to do remarkable things -- and how you can too!

Plus: Our Moment of Um answers the question: what is the smallest unit of measurement?
