Instructional Ideas

• Place learners in pairs and stop video periodically, using think-pair-share to ask previously scripted questions

Classroom Considerations

• Video assumes class members thoroughly understand aerobic respiration
• This is part one in a series of 37 related videos
• Classroom must have a computer, projection system, and access to the Internet

Pros

• If learners don't understand aerobic respiration, video provides a link to another video that explains the process
• Video uses great visuals, making the concepts easier to understand

Cons

• None
