Learners' understanding and thinking about respiration

Some examples from ECLIPSE of what students have said relating to respiration:

Plants mainly respire at night because they are photosynthesising during the day

Respiration produces energy, but photosynthesis produces glucose which produces energy

Amy Creates Energy In Biology

This is just one of a wide range of science topics that learners have talked about in ECLIPSE projects.
