Station 1: The Equation! Station 2: Breathing Data Station 3: Boys VS.

Girls

What are the two reactants? (What is at the start of
the reaction?)
Glucose +Oxygen
What are the two/three products? (What is at the end
of the reaction?)
Carbon Dioxide +Water +(Energy)
Finished Equation:
Glucose +Oxygen  Carbon Dioxide +Water +(Energy)
Challenge: What are the following elements: O, H, C?
Oxygen, Hydrogen and Carbon
What are the main differences between the amounts of
each gas we ‘breathe in’ and ‘breathe out’?
Carbon dioxide: More Carbon Dioxide is breathed out
during exercise and not exercising.
Oxygen: More oxygen is taken in during exercise as less
is breathed out
Water Vapour:
Increased amount of water vapour is present when we
breathe out.
Why do we breathe more heavier and more often after
exercise?
As the build of the toxic lactic acid has to be broken
down into carbon dioxide and water by oxygen. So we
need to get the oxygen in and the carbon dioxide out.
What is the difference in their energy intake? (Who has
more? How much Is by?)
The boy takes in a lot more energy.
Calculated the difference between the two.
Why do you think this is? (Look at the hints on the slide)
Boys tend to be of a bigger structure and therefore
have more cells and need a larger supply of glucose to
keep them moving.
He looks more active compared to girl and a more
active person will require more energy to carry out their
activities.
The girl is smaller than him and therefore doesn’t
require the same amount of energy.

Challenge: Why does the Nitrogen level stay the Challenge: What type of person would need more
same? energy and why?
A very active adult- They are bigger and they are highly
As nitrogen is not used within respiration so it is not active which requires more energy.
needed. A baby as they are growing but they are much smaller
and less active.
Station 4: Food Labels Station 5: Picture Link Station 6: Testing for the products of respiration

How do we measure the energy content of foods? (Look How energy is used in our body? (Use the help sheet) What happened to the limewater when you blew into
at where it says energy) List at least 3 ways- it? Why did this happen?
Movement It went from clear to cloudy. This showed we are
In kilo joules Growth/Repair breathing out carbon dioxide.
Building new molecules
Maintaining body temperature
Which types of foods contain the most energy per
100g? Where does respiration occur? What happened to the mirror when you breathed on it?
Why did this happen?
Fatty foods, Carbohydrates, crisps, chocolate foods with
a high sugar or fat content.
Challenge: Would a person need, more or less energy
in a hot country? Why?
They need would need to eat less as less energy needs
to gone into maintaining the body’s temperature.
In the cell in the mitochondria of the cell.
Challenge: Why is respiration constant even when
we’re asleep?
As our cells are always working and completing a
function and therefore require energy.
There was condensation. This showed that we are
breathing out water vapour.
Challenge: How else do we know water is made?
Think back to station two.
We breathe out water vapour in a higher amount.
