Title - Comparing Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Respiration
By - Amy Malowitz
Primary Subject - Science
Grade Level - 7-10
Objective:
- Students will compare the two types of cellular respiration: aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration (fermentation). Students will note similarities and differences between the two processes including when, where, and how each process occurs.
- Students will develop a concept map using Inspiration indicating the criteria for aerobic and anaerobic respiration. This concept map will indicate:
- Three similarities between the two processes.
- Two types of cells that perform each process.
- Location in the cell where each process occurs.
- Oxygen requirements for each process.
- Reactants and products for each process.
- Energy output for each process.
- Two different types of anaerobic respiration.
- Reactants and products for each.
- Types of cells that perform each process.
Introduction:
- This activity will follow a fermentation (anaerobic respiration) lab using yeast. This lab will address the process of alcoholic fermentation.
- Students will perform push-ups to experience lactic acid build-up in muscle cells.
- These activities will gain interest in the process of anaerobic respiration.
- Students will have already studied the detailed process of aerobic cellular respiration.
Procedure:
- Students will work in pairs or trios to answer questions (as seen in benchmarks) on aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
- Students will use previous notes and lab activities to summarize main ideas for aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
- Individually, students will create a concept map using Inspiration to further integrate and separate the two processes.
Accommodations:
- Instructions will be provided in written format as well as read orally. Instructions will also be on an overhead.
- One example will be provided for students on how to summarize data.
- Students will be shown examples of concept maps.
- Individual groups will have to show completed summary before proceeding to complete concept map.
- Students will be asked to draw a part of their concept map on paper before proceeding to computer to ensure understanding of procedure.
