Photosynthesis Lesson Plans and Information

Chloroplasts – Overview of Chlorplasts from the Molecular
Expressions: Science, Optics and You site.
Photosynthesis – This biology site has a section on photosynthesis that is concise yet thorough, and links are provided for further information. Tests check your learning as you go.
Why Weren’t Plants Created 100% Efficient at Photosynthesis? – Interesting article from the Revolution Against
Evolution site explaining that if plants were 100 percent efficient inphotosynthesis, they would be black in color, to absorb as much radiationas possible. Can you imagine a forest without all the beautiful shades of green?
Photosynthesis, Energy, and Life – At this site you can read about photosynthesis, foodchains, energy pyramids, energy changes and heat flow.
Photosynthesis Worksheets - The following crosswords can used to review photosynthesis at two different levels.
Photosynthesis Crosswords – Use this printable to teach children about photosynthesis. Grades 2-6.
Photosynthesis Lesson Plans – Don’t “leaf out” falls important lesson.
Photosynthesis Web Quest – Students investigate the process of photosynthesis through a They build upon prior knowledge to investigate the role of sunlight, the raw materials needed, the products and the significance of photosynthesis in an ecosystem. Grades 3-8

Photosynthesis: Leaves

Most photosynthesis occurs in the leaves; a channel in the leaves called a stoma lets gases in and out; the chloroplasts in the leaves contain chlorophyll; chlorophyll carries out photosynthesis.

…

Plants: Photosynthesis

Plants capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy using chlorophyll through a process called photosynthesis.

…

Photosynthesis: Atoms

Atoms are made of subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, and electrons) that are used in chemical bonding.

…

Photosynthesis: The Process

Photosynthesis is the process plants use to convert sunlight into energy. The leaves of plants contain chlorophyll and chloroplasts, which are necessary for photosynthesis.

…

Photosynthesis: The Products

The oxygen we breathe is a by-product of photosynthesis; fossil fuels are a by-product of plants.

…

Chemistry Of Life: Photosynthesis

The dark reactions of photosynthesis take place in the chloroplasts.

…

P hotosynthesis: Video Quiz

This is a video quiz about the process of photosynthesis.

……

The Cell: Chloroplasts And Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts. Plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose via photosynthesis.

…

Photosynthesis: Chemistry

During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is split into carbon and oxygen atoms, and water is split into oxygen and hydrogen atoms. Chlorophyll then uses these atoms to make glucose to store the energy
