Instructional Ideas

• After teaching cellular respiration, show the video and stop periodically to ask what happens next in the process to assess learners' knowledge

Classroom Considerations

• Classroom should have a computer, projection system, and access to the Internet 
• Have a way to teach and reinforce vocabulary; there is an abundance of it in cellular respiration
• Part 10 in a series of 37

Pros

• Cellular respiration is a complex process, and the video does a great job in explaining it through good visuals and engaging dialogue
• Great relation to Olympic track athletes and what is happening inside their bodies as they sprint or run long distances

Cons

• None
