Covered in this Resource Relate surface area to volume ratio to gaseous diffusion in unicellular or small animals and the need for respiratory and transport systems in larger animals. Respiration as an exothermic reaction controlled by enzymes which produces ATP as a result of breaking down glucose. Aerobic respiration occurs in mitochondria of all cells and requires oxygen and produces CO2 and H2O Anaerobic respiration occurs in muscle cells during vigorous activity when there is little oxygen, produces lactic acid, creates oxygen debt and less ATP per glucose molecule than aerobic respiration. Role played by intercostal muscles and diaphragm during inhalation and exhalation. Label the respiratory system. Compare the composition of inhaled and exhaled air. Function of cilia. Effect of smoking on cilia, emphysema and smokers cough. What You Get Sheet for fact share activity Fact Sheet Smart Board Quiz - Question and answer PowerPoints Two worksheets – differentiated. Answer/mark scheme PowerPoint Sheet for pupils to record quiz answers Suggested lesson plan (one-page flow chart) Lesson structure With the question version of the quiz on the interactive whiteboard, pupils write their answers on their recording sheet. This quiz has a built-in timer for each question but the teacher has control of movement between slides to move from question to question. The answer version of the quiz is then put on the IWB and pupils mark their answers. This version also shows the questions so it is easy for the teacher to go through any explanations necessary. The facts on the fact sheet are mapped to the question numbers in the quiz. Pupils now match and colour on the fact sheet, the numbers of the questions they had wrong on the pupil recording sheet. They then have, to take away with them, a clear and permanent record of facts to be learned. Pupils then tackle the worksheet which is differentiated over two versions. Finally pupils use the answer/mark scheme PowerPoint to either self-assess or peer assess their answers to the worksheet. More resources available at my shop Elf Off the Shelf Shop
