Students identify photosynthesis as the mechanism by which plants convert sunlight energy into a usable energy source for plant processes. They identify photosynthesis as the mechanism by which plants create a molecule that can be used to build or grow. Students recognize that the plant needs a mechanism by which to access energy all the time, otherwise know as respiration. They design an experiment which tests variables one by one. Full Review »

Students take simple measurements of time for the breathing rate lesson and circumference in the lung capacity lesson. They make simple calculations for both experiments, which will lead to their determination of their both active and resting breathing rate and their everyday normal lung capacity. Full Review »

Students investigate the process of respiration, including the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs. They make models showing how the human lung works. Students are told that they are going to make a model of the human lung to study how changes in air pressure affect respiration. Full Review »
