About this resource

What's inside this resource

Cellular Respiration Lab Station Activities Bring cellular respiration concepts to life in your science classroom. This interactive lab station activity allows students to actively learn about key cellular respiration concepts including glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, proton gradients, electron transport chains, and more through a variety of hands-on stations. Budding scientists will get creative illustrating concepts, conduct research, watch informative videos, answer knowledge checks, and more. With a structured passport system to guide learning, minimal teacher prep required, and bonus vocabulary boosters, it's a foolproof way to engage learners with cellular respiration. Use it to complement your unit for whole class learning, small group remediation, or independent student review. This versatile cellular respiration lab is perfect for middle and high school life science and biology teachers looking to energize cellular respiration instruction.

In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Describe the steps of the Krebs cycle
  • Explain how the proton gradient and electron transport chain depend on oxygen
  • Compare aerobic and anaerobic energy production in muscle cells

Teaching tips

  • The expert video station uses a linked external video, so place a device with internet access there.

Skills covered

  • Diagramming — drawing the Krebs cycle from memory
  • Scientific argument — giving an opinion on why oxygen matters in the electron transport chain
  • Question writing — authoring five original quiz questions as Question Master
