Come explore cellular respiration!

1. Cellular Respiration WebQuest
Introduction
Have you every wondered why we breathe? Or how
our body is fueled? Or why you start panting when
you exercise for a long time? Maybe you’ve wondered
why you like eating sugar so much? The answer to all
these questions can be found in a molecular process
called cellular respiration.
Task
You’ve been selected for a once in a lifetime opportunity
to take a ride on Miss Frizzle’s magic school bus! You find
out that the trip will be into the inner working of a human
cell. You know some basic knowledge about organelle
functions, but something that really stumps you is where
cells get their energy. You decide that before you step onto the magic school bus, you’re
going to be the foremost expert on cellular energy! Follow the process below to achieve
expert status and knock Miss Frizzle off her feet.

Conclusion
Congratulations! You are now an expert on cellular respiration. You are fully prepared to
dive into the cellular world with Miss Frizzle. Cellular respiration is THE process that
provides energy for living organisms to function.
If you think this cellular respiration information is totally cool, then here are a few extra
links for you to scientifically investigate.
