KS3 ~ Year 8 ~ Aerobic Respiration

This lesson is designed for the KS3 Year 8 Science course, specifically the B2 1.2 Ecosystem Processes.

For more lessons designed for KS3 and KS4 please visit my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience.

This lesson begins with an introduction of the process of aerobic respiration including the word equations that pupils will need to learn. Next is a video, pupils will need to answer questions whilst watching the video, once it is finished they can self-assess their work using the mark scheme provided.

Pupils will now have a recap of the different structures of an animal and plant cells, they will be required to label a diagram of an animal and plant cells. Once this task is complete, students can self-assess their work using the mark scheme provided. Students will look specifically at the ultra-structure of the cell and which parts are important for respiration, this activity is a match up activity that pupils can complete and then mark.

Students will then be given a piece of information on how oxygen and glucose gets into cells, using this information students will need to answer a set of questions. This work can then be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided in the PowerPoint presentation.

The plenary task requires students to spend a few minutes talking to each other about what they have learned this lesson.

All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)
