The purpose of this assessment probe is to elicit students’ ideas about respiration. It is designed to find out whether students recognize respiration as a process that all living things use in order to obtain energy or whether they have a restricted macroscopic meaning of respiration. Elementary students distinguish between living and nonliving things and learn that most living things need air. Middle school students continue to learn about various structures that take in oxygen and make it available to cells, including the structures of insects and aquatic organisms. High school biology students build on their basic understanding of cellular respiration to examine the process at the cellular and molecular level. Teacher notes, standards, assessment, and references are provided. This book selection also includes the Table of Contents, Dedication, Preface, Introduction, and Index..
