A comprehensive and enjoyable, fully resourced lesson on respiration including an explanation of the difference between respiration and breathing. 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. ** What’s Included** Animated PowerPoint for teaching with exit ticket quiz Flip it (pupil writes questions to given answers) Anticipation Guides (combined starter and plenary) Foldable Cut and stick activity.

A fantastic end-of-year or back to school activity but really the ideal any-time vehicle to promote community and communication between teachers and students and which also introduces that important element of healthy competition - so often missing in distance learning. The competition can be run for individual classes or across several classes and offering a prize and running a “coming to your computer soon” campaign for a few days before fires interest and enthusiasm. How it Works The design of this fully - animated quiz is unique and is specifically tailored to quizzing at a distance. Students complete the quiz which automatically records the score and the time taken. They then take a screenshot or photograph of their final score or time and email it to their teacher. The winner is the student with the highest score and in the event of a tie, the student with the lowest time wins. The time penalties for each question mean that those pupils who have cheated and looked up the answers online are unlikely to win. On selecting a wrong answer, the student is immediately provided with the correct answer. Question Content All questions are pictorial and multiple choice.
