This KS3 activity can be used to introduce or review respiration. There is a text that describes aerobic and anaerobic respiration and a set of statement cards.

Ask students to sort the cards into two groups (the two types of respiration) prior to any teaching about respiration. See if they can conclude anything such as ‘they must both use glucose, since there are two cards which say ‘use glucose’, or ‘only one uses oxygen’. This will establish some goals for the lesson.

Re-use the card sort in order to assess progress after some formal teaching on the two types of respiration.
