Essential question: How do cells release usable energy from organic molecules?
Open monday Deep Lesson · Model, Worked Example & Practice
Active tissues consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide at different rates.
Build an initial model and explanation for: How do cells release usable energy from organic molecules?
Record observations, questions, an initial model, and one claim that could be tested. Use these concepts where relevant: glycolysis; aerobic respiration; ATP; redox; fermentation.
Open tuesday Deep Lesson · Model, Worked Example & Practice
Study and explain the week's core ideas: glycolysis; aerobic respiration; ATP; redox; fermentation
Open text on cellular respiration and ATP.
Revise Monday's model. Add two evidence-backed annotations and explain one limitation or uncertainty.
Open wednesday Deep Lesson · Model, Worked Example & Practice
Compare ATP yield models and respirometry rates.
Show units, setup, calculation or graph reasoning, then write what the quantitative evidence can and cannot establish about: How do cells release usable energy from organic molecules?
Open thursday Deep Lesson · Model, Worked Example & Practice
Respirometry simulation or germinating-seed dataset; avoid sealed living-organism experiments without supervision.
Use the course safety charter. If supervision, facilities, materials, or conditions are not appropriate, use the supplied-data/simulation alternative rather than improvising hazardous procedures.
Record variables or design constraints, procedure/model, observations/data, and one revision you would make after reviewing the evidence.
Open friday Deep Lesson · Model, Worked Example & Practice
Answer the essential question: How do cells release usable energy from organic molecules?
Submit a claim, at least two specific pieces of evidence, reasoning that connects them, one limitation/counterclaim, and a correction note for any essential concept below 80%.
Select one artifact from this week and explain why it is trustworthy evidence of growth.
