New AQA Respiration Specification- Aerobic Respiration- Powerpoint and Worksheets

This resource is a PowerPoint presentation that covers the Aerobic Respiration (4.4.2.1) information on the 2016 AQA Respiration specification.

The structure of the lesson is as follows:

1) Starter: Students have 3 minutes write down as much as they can remember about respiration on your A3 piece of paper. They then have 5 minutes to move around the room magpie-ing ideas from the other groups. There is a class discussion to find out what the groups have found out.

2) Think-Pair-Share: What is Respiration used for in the body? There is a PowerPoint slide with 4 pictures on. The students have to work out, using these pictures, what reparation is used for in the body.

3) True or False aerobic respiration activity. All answers included.

4) There are 3 experiments that, if you have access to, it would be great to order for this lesson to allow the students to investigate the by-products of respiration. These are :

1) Students carry out Huff and puff
2) Students observe Respiration train (woodlice/maggots)
3) Students observe wet vs. dried peas in flasks

However, if you are unable to order these experiments, it does not affect the learning of the lesson. The PowerPoint has pictures of these experiments, with the conclusions included. The students can look at the pictures and work out the conclusions from those. There is also a worksheet that goes along side this activity.

5) "Rearrange these words to make the word equation for aerobic respiration. Peer assess each others."

6) "Rearrange the following to make the chemical equation for aerobic respiration. Peer assess each others."

7) Plenary Task- Answer the key questions activity. All answers are included.

Thank you for looking and I hope you enjoy the resources.
