AGENDAS FOR THE WEEK: Apr 2 – Apr 6
TUESDAY WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY
Objective(s): SWBAT
*Name and describe the steps of cellular
respiration
* *
* CCSS/NGSSS: HS-LS1-7. Use a model to
CCSS/NGSSS: HS-LS1-7. Use a model to
illustrate that cellular respiration is a chemical
process whereby the bonds of food molecules and
oxygen molecules are broken and the bonds in
new compounds are formed, resulting in a net
transfer of energy.

Engage Engage: Inquiry-based activity based on old
experiment, placing a plant under an airtight
chamber with a candle and observing the candle
remaining lit. Compare with a lone candle under
the chamber and observing the candle going out.
