Instructional Ideas

• Pose the question, "Why are you sometimes sore after working out?" and allow pairs to discuss and then share with the class
• Pause the video when lactic acid is discussed and allow pupils to tweak their answers

Classroom Considerations

• Video briefly discusses fermentation, and the narrator mentions that if our cells fermented, we would get drunk simply by working out and how awesome that would be; be ready to address questions and/or comments 
• Video seven in a series of 40

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

• Other related video links are embedded 
• Great analogies throughout video to help viewers understand these complex processes

Cons

• The narrator moves quickly through these are complex processes; some pupils may be overwhelmed
