Cellular Respiration in Animals and Plants (Grade 9-12)

Cellular respiration is how all living things make energy. When an animal eats and digests food, it is broken down and absorbed by the cells as glucose molecules. Simultaneously, they take in oxygen which travels through the lungs, bloodstream, and into the cells. When glucose and oxygen reach the cells’ cytoplasm, the materials and location […]

Cellular Respiration – Authentic Performance Activity

Authentic Performance Activities facilitate a student’s understanding of a lesson’s usefulness in real life. They are also an Understanding by Design (UbD) assessment tool. Focus questions act as pre- and post-assessment indicators of the activity’s effectiveness. Focus Questions: 1. Why do we learn about how the body breaks down food? 2. Would knowing about how […]
