Overview
In this activity students explore data from a study of cellular respiration. Outside of class, students prepare for the exercise by viewing a video and taking a brief online quiz. In class, they are provided with a table of results and work in groups to answer a series of questions.
Instructional Objectives
Students will be able to:
- List the stages of cellular respiration
- Explain each stage of cellular respiration
- Identify where ATP is made in the cell
- Critically analyze data collected using the scientific method
