Summative Assessment: Cellular Respiration: Measuring Energy Consumption During Exercise Lab Report.

This week’s lab introduced you to aerobic and anaerobic respiration. You were also able to apply this new knowledge by measuring energy transfer during exercise and helped the team understand the science of exercise.

Please download, complete and submit this complete the Cellular Respiration: Measuring Energy Consumption During Exercise Lab Report and please format your lab report in a question-answer format (place each of your answers after the relevant question). Many students find it helpful to have the lab report document open while they complete the Labster lab. As they complete the virtual lab, they jot down notes in the relevant parts of the lab report. Then, when they are finished with the lab, their lab reports are in rough form that they can then clean up and submit.

Be sure to answer each question in the worksheet. The best answers will be thoughtful and descriiptive. There are no minimum word counts but in general more words will be better than fewer words.
The first four sections–Title, Topic, Background Information, and Methods–come directly from the lab. These should be pretty easy to write. You’ll be mainly reporting on what you read and did while you worked through the lab. To score in the “Accomplished” range (see the Grading Rubric), you’ll want to do this reporting in good detail across the portions of the lab that are relevant to each question.

The last three sections–Observations, Discussion, and Conclusions–are the most important sections. These are where you show your learning from the lab and where you demonstrate how well you can apply that learning to broader aspects of life and you connect the learning from the lab to other topics in biology, beyond the direct confines of the lab. Put a lot of good thought and writing in these last three sections.
The last question asks you what questions you have, now that you’ve completed the lab. You should ALWAYS have questions. This shows that you got the point of the Lab. Your questions should focus relate directly back to Question 2: What was the subject you were trying to understand better in the lab? Your questions should show that you understood the lab and that you can extend that learning to new situations out in the world that are related to the central concepts.
