A heavy, colourless gas which comes out when we breathe. Our lungs absorb oxygen from the air when we breathe, and then we exhale out CO2 as a waste product. CO2 is also used in soft drinks to make them bubbly!
When we eat or drink something, we consume it. The word consume is also used when we buy something, or when something is destroyed e.g. Consumed by fire.
A form of underwater diving that requires a diver to hold their breath underwater without the help of any gear (e.g. scuba equipment) to help them breathe.
