The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates blended learning and provides equality of opportunity for vulnerable students who are unable to attend school due to Covid-19. The classroom resource consists of an animated 44 slide PowerPoint and 15 varied and exciting printables including a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class. The distance learning pack consists of a 75 slide animated PowerPoint which, not only teaches the science but also how to gain maximum benefit from distance learning. The PowerPoint has been designed to replace the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. Additional worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. There is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher. A shortened photocopiable PDF of the PowerPoint is provided to circulate to those pupils without computers. What’s Covered Breathing is movement of air in and out of the lungs. Respiration is the release of energy from glucose. Breathing provides the oxygen for aerobic respiration and gets rid of waste carbon dioxide. Label the trachea, right bronchus, bronchiole, alveolus, intercostal muscle, rib, diaphragm. Label a diagram of an alveolus and show the direction of diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Experiment using limewater to compare the amount of carbon dioxide in inhaled and exhaled air. Compare the percentage of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen in inhaled and exhaled air. Mechanism of breathing. Changes in volume and pressure inside the chest during inhalation and exhalation. Evaluate a model of the mechanism of breathing. Design an investigation into how breathing rate varies with exercise. More high quality resources available here. Elf Off the Shelf Resources

A compendium of four enjoyable and challenging games on cellular respiration, suitable for all abilities. Each game is fully resourced, comes with full instructions and is easy to run. Games Included: Find the Pair Team Game Dominoes 42 Question Board Game Save the School Cat Escape Room This versatile pack can be used to enhance a lesson, for revision or for cover lessons, even when taken by a non-specialist as most come with answers. It is also the ideal end of term/year pack. Prior Knowledge Breathing is movement of air in and out of the lungs. Respiration is the release of energy from glucose. Yeast is a unicellular fungus that undergoes fermentation. Bread, beer and wine are products of fermentation. Respiration happens in the mitochondria of all plant and animal cells. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to release energy from glucose. Anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen to release energy from glucose and produces lactic acid which causes muscle cramps. Word equations for aerobic respiration and fermentation. Conditions necessary for fermentation. Body is in oxygen debt after anaerobic respiration. Breathing rate remains high after anaerobic respiration until lactic acid has been cleared. More high quality resources available here.
