  Originally	
 taught:	
 March	
 8,	
 2011	
 
This	
 lesson	
 is	
 designed	
 for	
 10th	
 grade	
 biology	
 students	
  	
  Michigan	
 Content	
 Expectations:	
  	
  B2.5D	
 	
 Describe	
 how	
 individual	
 cells	
 break	
 down	
 energy-rich	
 molecules	
 to	
 provide	
  energy	
 for	
 cell	
 functions.	
  B3.1A	
 	
 Describe	
 how	
 organisms	
 acquire	
 energy	
 directly	
 or	
 indirectly	
 from	
 sunlight.	
  B3.1B	
 -	
 Illustrate	
 and	
 describe	
 the	
 energy	
 conversions	
 that	
 occur	
 during	
 photosynthesis	
  and	
 respiration.	
  B3.1C	
 	
 Recognize	
 the	
 equations	
 for	
 photosynthesis	
 and	
 respiration	
 and	
 identify	
 the	
  reactants	
 and	
 products	
 for	
 both.	
  B3.1D	
 	
 Explain	
 how	
 living	
 organisms	
 gain	
 and	
 use	
 mass	
 through	
 the	
 processes	
 of	
  photosynthesis	
 and	
 respiration.	
  	
  Objectives:	
   Students	
 will	
 correct	
 their	
 reading	
 guides	
 in	
 order	
 to	
 have	
 a	
 good	
 study	
 tool	
 for	
  their	
 quiz.	
   Students	
 will	
 be	
 able	
 to	
 articulate	
 the	
 reactants,	
 products,	
 and	
 locations	
 for	
 each	
  step	
 of	
 cellular	
 respiration	
 by	
 completing	
 a	
 graphic	
 organizer.	
   Students	
 will	
 watch	
 a	
 video	
 on	
 energy,	
 synthesizing	
 the	
 content	
 covered	
 thus	
 far	
  in	
 a	
 different	
 format.	
  	
  Resources:	
 	
   Students	
 will	
 need:	
  o Reading

 guide	
 (to	
 be	
 picked	
 up	
 at	
 the	
 beginning	
 of	
 class)	
  o Colored	
 pencil	
 (to	
 be	
 picked	
 up	
 at	
 the	
 beginning	
 of	
 class)	
   Teacher	
 will	
 need:	
  o Stamp	
 and	
 Inkpad	
  o PowerPoint:	
 Cellular	
 Respiration	
  o Whiteboard	
  o Discovery	
 Online	
 Video:	
 Simply	
 Science	
  Safety:	
 	
  There	
 are	
 no	
 safety	
 concerns	
 for	
 this	
 lesson	
  	
  	
  	
 
Opening:	
   Take	
 attendance.	
   Have	
 students	
 take	
 out	
 their	
 reading	
 guide	
 to	
 be	
 stamped.	
 Stamp	
 at	
 the	
 end	
 of	
  where	
 the	
 student	
 stopped	
 working.	
   Place	
 the	
 key	
 for	
 the	
 reading	
 guide	
 on	
 the	
 screen	
 and	
 have	
 students	
 correct	
 their	
  own	
 work.	
 Make	
 sure	
 that	
 all	
 students	
 have	
 a	
 correct	
 chart	
 to	
 study	
 from.	
 Inform	
  them	
 that	
 the	
 answer	
 key	
 is	
 on	
 Moodle.	
  	
  Instructional	
 Flow:	
   1st	
 hour	
 and	
 3rd	
 hour	
 students	
 get	
 out	
 their	
 guided	
 notes	
 from	
 the	
 previous	
 day.	
  Finish	
 the	
 PowerPoint	
 on	
 cellular	
 respiration.	
   Instruct	
 students	
 to	
 take	
 out	
 their	
 colored	
 pencil	
 and	
 graphic	
 organizer.	
 Remind	
  them	
 that	
 we	
 are	
 not	
 learning	
 anything	
 new,	
 rather	
 we	
 are	
 learning	
 the	
 same	
  material	
 in	
 a	
 different	
 way.	
   Using	
 the	
 pictures	
 drawn	
 on	
 the	
 board,	
 have	
 students	
 fill	
 in	
 the	
 necessary	
  information	
 on	
 their	
 organizer.	
   Remind	
 students	
 that	
 their	
 quiz	
 on	
 cellular	
 respiration	
 is	
 tomorrow.	
   Have	
 students	
 put	
 their	
 organizers	
 away	
 and	
 take	
 out	
 their	
 video	
 guide	
   Watch	
 Simply	
 Science:	
 Energy	
 Converters	
 for	
 the	
 remainder	
 of	
 the	
 hour.	
  o In	
 1st	
 and	
 3rd	
 hour,	
 the	
 video	
 may	
 get	
 cut	
 short.	
 If	
 this	
 is	
 the	
 case,	
 have	
  them	
 complete	
 as	
 much	
 of	
 the	
 video	
 guide	
 as	
 possible.	
  	
  Closure:	
  Collect	
 the	
 video	
 guide.	
 These	
 will	
 be	
 graded	
 for	
 completion,	
 since	
 the	
 video	
 told	
 them	
  all	
 of	
 the	
 answers	
 directly.	
  	
  Assessment:	
   Students	
 will	
 be	
 informally	
 assessed	
 in	
 their	
 contributions	
 to	
 the	
 graphic	
  organizer.	
 In	
 order	
 to	
 facilitate	
 this,	
 I	
 will	
 be	
 randomly	
 calling	
 on	
 students	
 to	
  assist	
 me	
 with	
 the	
 reactants	
 and	
 products	
 for	
 each	
 step.	
   Students	
 will	
 be	
 held	
 accountable	
 for	
 watching	
 the	
 video	
 by	
 completing	
 a	
 video	
  guide.	
   The	
 reading	
 guide	
 that	
 was	
 stamped	
 and	
 corrected	
 in	
 class	
 will	
 be	
 collected	
 at	
  the	
 end	
 of	
 the	
 week.	
  	
  Modifications:	
  1st	
 and	
 3rd	
 hour	
 may	
 not	
 see	
 all	
 of	
 the	
 video	
 in	
 order	
 to	
 prepare	
 them	
 for	
 the	
 quiz	
  tomorrow.	
  	
  Rationale:	
  This	
 lesson	
 is	
 designed	
 to	
 give	
 students	
 an	
 additional	
 way	
 to	
 access	
 the	
 content.	
  By	
 including	
 pictorial	
 representations	
 of	
 reactants	
 and	
 products,	
 as	
 well	
 as	
  incorporating	
 color,	
 I	
 am	
 anticipating	
 that	
 some	
 students	
 may	
 form	
 better	
  connections	
 between	
 the	
 three	
 steps	
 of	
 respiration.
