Anaerobic respiration Experiments - practical lesson on anaerobic respiration

This resource focuses on the following lesson objectives for exam boards AQA/OCR:

1. Describe anaerobic respiration
2. Develop practical skills to investigate anaerobic respiration
3. Explain observations from an investigation

It uses a series of three different experiments that are simple but effective investigations looking at anaerobic respiration in yeast. Each experiment can be set up by one pair or group of students and then students can move around the room and view the set up of the other experiments and make their own predictions and observations for each.

The entire lesson with all activities, crib sheets/mark schemes is contained within one file (ready for printing), however I have included separate pdf files if you prefer to print the worksheets and resources from single files. The Equipment Help Cards, Questions to Consider and Sentence Starters and Endings all lend themselves to supporting lower ability students to complete the activities to the best of their ability. Extension activities are included as well as a choice of Exam practice questions that could be used as homework tasks.
