Cellular Respiration is one of the hardest processes for students to learn.\u00a0 That’s why I created this great activity that helps students practice the steps.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When I do this activity, I have students work in pairs.\u00a0 One student is responsible for laying down the pieces while the other student is responsible for reading the questions and checking his\/her partner’s answers using the answer key.\u00a0 Let me show you what I mean.\u00a0 Refer to the IMAGE ABOVE when reading the example below.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For example,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Student 1 – Okay.\u00a0 Question # 1 asks what molecule enters?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
**Student 2 picks up the glucose term and starts to place it below question # 1.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Student 2 – Um.\u00a0 I think the glucose molecule enters.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
**Student 1 checks the answer key.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Student 1 – Yes! You are right man!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Student 2 – Yessssss!!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
(IMAGE ABOVE)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Student 1 – Okay.\u00a0 Next question.\u00a0 Question # 2 asks what’s the first stage called?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
**Student 2 grabs the Glycolysis term and starts to place it under question # 2.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Student 2 – I think the first stage is called GLYCOLYSIS.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
**Student 1 checks the answer key.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Student 1 – Yes!! You are correct again!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
(IMAGE ABOVE)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Student 1 – Okay…. Question # 3… How much energy is created?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
**Student 2 picks up the 2 ATPS & 4 Hydrogens piece and places it under question # 3.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Student 2 – I got this one! It’s 2 ATPs & 4 Hydrogens!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
**Student 1 checks answer key.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Student 1 – YES! Are you so awesome?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Students would continue the activity until they get through all of the questions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
(IMAGE ABOVE)\u00a0 You can see the pink cardstock sheet is the ANSWER KEY.\u00a0 Student 1 would have this sheet to check Student 2’s work.\u00a0 I wanted to show you guys that you don’t have to have the students color in the activity like mine was.\u00a0 I have a lot of students and not a lot of time.\u00a0 So usually I just print the worksheets & terms (the pieces) on cardstock (usually different colors).\u00a0 Then I cut out the terms (or pieces) and place them into a plastic bag.\u00a0 Each pair of students receives a plastic bag and the two sheets (1 answer key & the blank board).\u00a0 I use to laminate everything but it takes to long.\u00a0 Cardstock is pretty strong and I can use this activity over and over again.\u00a0 I have had mine for about 3 years.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You could have your students place the blank board (with just questions & no answers yet) in a interactive notebook.\u00a0 Then glue in a envelope on the next page and have your students keep the puzzle pieces in there so they could practice by themselves.\u00a0 There are so many ideas that you could do with this interactive activity.<\/p>\n
