Strand: SBI4U: Metabolic Processes
Enduring Understanding:
All metabolic processes involve chemical
changes and energy conversions.
Overall Expectations:
C2. investigate the products of metabolic
processes such as cellular respiration and
photosynthesis;
C3. demonstrate an understanding of the
chemical changes and energy conversions
that occur in
metabolic processes.
Specific Expectations:
C2.1 use appropriate terminology related
to metabolism
C3.1 explain the chemical changes and
energy conversions associated with the
processes of aerobic and anaerobic
cellular respiration

Timing Lesson Sequence Strategies/Activities

0-5 min Attendance and Lesson Hook large class discussion

lecture
5-15 min Review Concepts note taking
Initiate a verbal discussion with the worksheet
class on the concepts learned the video
previous day. Discuss topics and
areas in which students have
indicated as confusing from prior exit
ticket

15-55 min Lecture Slides

Begin lecture on the topic of
Catabolic pathways and how it
pertains to humans
Video called ATP & Respiration
general introduction to the topics that
we will be covering in the following
lessons (0-4:19 in video)
Will cover the concepts of three major
pathways, Glycolysis Krebs Cycle,
and ETC
Begin talk about ATP and its
importance with all three cycles and
indeed all processes in the human
body
Introduction of Glycolysis and how it
works in the human body

55-70 min Exit Ticket and Departure

Assessment (of/for/as):

Of: No assessment Of learning is included in this lesson.

For: Students will demonstrate their understanding to the teacher through the means of
questions throughout the lesson, as well as through the questions included on in the
Exit Ticket. This gives the teacher feed back as to their classrooms current standing on
the subject matter and allow for further lesson modifications to better suit the needs of
the current classroom.

As: The exit ticket will allow for self reflection within the student on their own abilities
and current understanding of the subject matter.
