AP biology and Cellular Respiration

Cellular respiration is a fairly complex chain of events. It is the process of converting glucose into the usable form of energy called ATP. Over the years I have tried to find ways to help the students gain an understanding of what is happening and how changes affect the whole process (for example..what happens if there is no oxygen...etc...)

Well a few years ago I had a brilliant creative moment and developed a "skit" where the students acted out the whole process. They have a lot of fun and it really seems to help (or so they say). so here is a short clip of the whole thing.
