Teaching respiration can be hard for several reasons, for one, the separation between the chemical and physical process of breathing can often confuse. As well as this SEND students can usually find the content of typical lessons weighty, this lesson really simplifies the concepts of respiration and breaks them down, as well as this the Practicals such as breathing on a mirror and the limewater experiment get students to physically to see the products of respiration which really solidifies their understanding of the process.
The lesson starts with a concept cartoon with common misconceptions surrounding respiration- which can give you an overall idea of what your students’ ideas are on respiration right at the start of the lesson.
The majority of the lesson is based on the Activate scheme of work; however, it can easily be integrated into Explore learning and other schemes of work. It can even be used for a foundation and lower ability GCSE class. It can easily be adapted to suit different GCSE sets by adding exam questions or using Kerboodle worksheets.
