<\/p>\n

In my class, students have to know the cellular respiration equation.\u00a0 So I created two activities that allow students to practice the equation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(IMAGE ABOVE)\u00a0 The first one is a foldable.\u00a0 It shows that both plants and animals do cellular respiration.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(IMAGE ABOVE)\u00a0 When students open the flaps, they see the equation in terms of words. You will see that I also go over the equation with my students and I have them write some additional stuff.\u00a0 For example, I had my students write that we get our sugar from our food.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(IMAGE ABOVE) When students open the flaps again, they see the equation in terms of symbols.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(IMAGE ABOVE)\u00a0 This is my second activity.\u00a0 Students receive a bunch of pieces (vocab words, pictures, and symbols) that they have to assemble in order to create the cellular respiration equation and answer a few questions about the process.\u00a0 For example, you see in the picture it asks, “Cellular respiration happens in what type of cell?”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(IMAGE ABOVE)\u00a0 You can see that I am placing the “plant & animal cell” piece on top of that question.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(IMAGE ABOVE) Next you can see that I am filling out the cellular respiration equation in terms of words using the pieces.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(IMAGE ABOVE) Next you can see that I am filling out the cellular respiration equation in terms of symbols.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/p>\n

(IMAGE ABOVE) This is the same activity but a different version for your high level students.\u00a0 It doesn’t show them the boxes.\u00a0 So students have to place the “+”s and the “arrows.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(IMAGE ABOVE)\u00a0 When I have my students complete this last activity, I have them do it in pairs.\u00a0 For example, student A receives the answer sheet (the white sheet above) and student B receives the yellow sheet with the pink pieces.\u00a0 Student A guides Student B while he\/she attempts the activity.\u00a0 If he\/she gets stuck, then Student A gives them a hint.\u00a0 If Student B can’t figure out the answer, Student A can give them the answer.\u00a0 After Student B finishes the activity, they switch roles.\u00a0 This activity is great for your EL students because they have a partner to practice with, and they are guided through the whole process.<\/p>\n
