Students examine the process of photosynthesis; its products and reactants, and the sequence of the process. They diagram the light reactions, record observations of plants, and discuss how difficult it is to measure plant growth as it is affected by photosynthesis. While visiting a greenhouse, they make observations that are added to a class chart for the discussion. Full Review »

Students complete a KWL chart on what they already know about water and what they want to know. As a class, they participate in an activity in which they discover the amount of drinkable water on Earth and are introduced to the water cycle. In groups, they make their own model of an aquifer and experiment with different objects to see the effects of pollution and how water is purified. Full Review »

Students explain what the experiments of van Helmont, Priestley and Ingenhousz reveal. They view a video of photosynthesis and draw the structure of the chloroplast with labels. In addition, they explain the functions of the two photosystems: photosystem II and photosystem I and ATPsynthase. Full Review »
