13 Lesson Plan Teach 2- Breaking Down the Breaking Point Cellular Respiration

Learning and Skill Goals:

Learning Goals: For students to understand the relationship between cellular respiration, energy production and exercise and how oxygen and glucose affect this process. Skill Goals: For students to design and carry out experiments and interpret results.

Introduction
What factors affect exercise performance?

Challenge Statements
Find the Breaking Point Find out how many time you can squeeze a tennis ball for a minute and a half. Explain the Breaking Point How quickly can you get bromothymol blue to change colors?

Context Setting
Understanding cellular respiration can help us understand athletic performance.

Materials
Finding the breaking point worksheet Explaining the breaking point worksheet Tennis balls (10) Stop watches (10) Bromothymol Blue Beakers As many as available Straws (20)

Grouping

Formative Assessment Plan:

Learning will be assessed by interactions with individual groups of students, by the group discussion between experiments, and by requesting to see a plan from each group as to what they are planning to do for their CO2 experiment.

Summative Assessment Plan:

Learning will be assessed use of the exit ticket question, Why cant I sprint forever?
